Coach Prime

He also had another speeding ticket earlier in June which he failed to pay or appear in court. What an idiot.

Just another self entitled kid thinking he is above the law because of who his daddy is.

Props to Prime for being pretty transparent about his bladder cancer situation.

Bladder cancer.
Another example of wait until you know the details before spouting off.
" I knew he would leave" blah, blah,

Lol exactly. Everyone is an “expert,” now days.

I had no idea it was even possible to survive without a bladder! I'm continuously amazed at the advancements of medical science!

I hope Deion is completely cancer free for the rest of his life.

I do too but the Dr. said something that’s not true. She stated that he had high grade cancer that had infiltrated the bladder muscle. They removed the bladder and replaced it. She the said “he is cured and cancer free” after only two months. There is no methodology or medical protocol that follows those guidelines. It is impossible to know if he’s cured and cancer free. The minimum is 6 months for low grade cancer. For high grade cancer, the guideline is 5 years. I know because I lived it. I understand her being optimistic but what she said was completely inappropriate and any oncologist would agree. As a retired chiropractor, I have friends, one being a urologist that told me his jaw hit the floor when she stated that he was cured and cancer free.

They are trying to keep recruits, IMO. Nothing more, nothing less.

Cancer SUCKS.

That is pretty irresponsible. The better response would be "no cancer is now detectable". But how do you replace a bladder? Do they have a used bladder warehouse somewhere? Is it a transplant or made out of plastic/rubber?

I do not know. I thought they sectioned part of your intestine and made one otherwise you have a high probability of tissue rejection or I should say is you eliminate tissue rejection.

I know it sounds ridiculous and "science fictiony" to ask but, what about the possibility of 3D printing a new one from tissue of his existing one? Is that even a possibility? I only ask because I've heard of them being able to do this for certain other body parts. Deion certainly has the money to fund any kind of expensive, cutting edge medical procedures.

They grow synthetic skin from small tissue samples for burn victims. It’s not the same, but amazing nonetheless the less.

I could've sworn I read where they can 3D print ears now for people with microtia.

I'm not in the medical profession, but that statement by the doctor sounded rather premature & even unprofessional.

I think they "replaced" it with a bag that you wear outside your body. at least that is what happened with my grandfather. obviously prime has access to better care than my grandad but I would imagine its pretty similar.

He did what's called a neobladder, they use part of the intestine to make a pouch. You don't necessarily have the feeling lije normal, but press on it to empty as you pee. There's also the option of the bag like Louder mentioned, ileal conduit is what they call that, it's what my wife has. They recently just performed the first ever bladder transplant at ucla, and working with usc. My wife was actually the furst candidate, but constant infection prevented her from being a candidate. We flew out for a couple of days, met the surgeons and stuff, just didn't work out. What she had done is causing issues, the infection, so they were gonna try the transplant.
