Footage has surfaced showing an emotional Karrueche Tran by Deion Sanders‘ side amid him recently undergoing surgery to remove his bladder. To note, the footage arrives amid Sanders’ revealing that he removed his bladder to cure himself of cancer.
According to Fox News, on Monday, July 28, Sanders held a news conference to share that he was diagnosed with cancer over the offseason.
“Men, everybody, get checked out. Because if it wasnt for me getting tested for something else, they wouldnt have stumbled up on this. Make sure you get the right care because without wonderful people like this, I wouldnt be sitting here today becaue it grew so expeditiously. But please get yourself checked,” he reportedly explained at the conference.
Per the outlet, Colorado assistant athletic trainer Lauren Askevold and Dr. Janet Kukreja of UC Health shared more about Sanders’ bladder cancer diagnosis.
“We proceeded with the removal of the bladder tumor. We removed the tumor. It was very high grade, invading through the bladder wall, not into the muscle layer, something we call high-risk non-invasive bladder cancer,” Askevold explained.
Furthermore, the officials explained that Sanders opted for the bladder removal surgery as well as the “creation of a new bladder.” Lastly, the outlet notes that Sander is cured of the cancer. However, he noted that he “cant pee like [he] used to pee.”
Per the outlet, footage then surfaced of Sanders undergoing the procedure on May 9. Furthermore, the footage was titled “For Your Glory (Part 1): Coach Prime Bladder Removal Surgery” and published via YouTube. To note, about a minute into the footage, Karrueche Tran was spotted alongside Sanders as he prepared to undergo the procedure. In addition, Tran could be seen becoming emotional while talking to the camera.
“He just had his bladder removed, and they will create a new bladder with one of his intestines,” Tran explained. “And this option was, I guess, the best because it fully removes the cancer to ensure that it doesn’t come back, because it was close to his muscle.”

To note, in June, Sanders revealed to the world that he was dealing with a health issue. However, at the time, he did not disclose what it was, per The Shade Room. Furthermore, this isn’t Sanders’ first health scare. As previously reported, in 2021, he underwent surgery to have two toes amputated.
Social media users immediately entered The Shade Room’s comment section to share their confusion about Karrueche Tran and Deion Sanders’ connection amid sharing well wishes for him and his recovery.
