Sanders’ doctor confirmed that his bladder had been withdrawn after the diagnosis of cancer and they made the creation of a new bladder. She also said Sanders was currently without cancer.

Sanders appeared in a good mood during the long 40 -minute press conference, wearing a cowboy hat and a overalls with his signature sunglasses.
“It was a huge trip,” said Sanders when he became emotional. “God is good … God is good … You don’t know how good God was good for me to be here.”

Sanders said that No one knew their cancer diagnosisNot even the team. He also said that he would remain in his position as head coach of the football team.
“So, I don’t mind going through the afflicts I go through because I know the result and we help some people today. There are people at the moment to call the doctors to plan assessments, and there are women who say:” Baby, I told you, “said Sanders.” Because if it can happen to you. ”
Kukreja said Sanders’ prospects were “very good” and that they would keep it on surveillance with routine analyzes.
She said that new bladders are created for patients using their own intestines.
“At the University of Colorado, we generally do the procedure in a robotic manner, so it is a laparoscopic surgery where we attach a robot to the patient, then we do all the maneuvers of the robot. And once the bladder comes out, we also take lymphatic nodes to ensure that it has not spread, and we do not do a bladder for people,” said Kukre.
Laparoscopic surgery is described as a surgical technique that uses a thin tube with a camera, to view and operate on internal organs by small incisions in the abdomen.
There has been speculation about his health after being seen in public for some time after the end of spring in April. Sanders went to social networks last month to say that he was fine.
