His bladder was removed after discovering the cancer. At least he’s in good spirits about 

“I depend on Depends,” he said, adding that he has a friendly competition with his young grandson about who can have the heaviest diaper at the end of the night.”

I was wondering about that.  I don't think he could make through a full game day on a single depends.  Somebody needs to let him know about better quality diapers.

Glad hes being positive about it, could be a good ambasador for incontinence acceptance.

Too late.

He's signed a deal. I hope he doesn't have any problems during a game.

Hes a coach now I dont think he plays anymore.....maybe though. 

Also great to have such a famous celebrity in our corner. Even if its medical condition. Hes bringing it into the norm.

He's coaching, but he'll be out on the sidelines for a few hours at a time. I'm just hoping he doesn't have any leaks if he's really using Depends. It could be worse though, he could be using Attends.

Glad he's got a positive attitude after going through so much. I hope him being a celebrity and being open about his medical issue helps further destigmatize incontinence and adult diapers. People should't feel ashamed of having a medical condition or disability, or shamed for how they hadle those issues.

With no bladder he'd have a slow drip as urine is produced... just the thing Depend are decent at for a couple hours, so not a bad partnership. Depend don't work for me, but they have a place in the incont world.

Have two friends who have had bladder cancer and got a neobladder (essentially an artificial one formed out of some spare intestine).    Not as good as the real thing, but not a continuous dribble.

Mad respect for the man for publicly embracing what was once a dreaded social stigma. There is still much work to be done but this is the exposure is good for our community even if it indirectly helps.

Apparently even Depends knows about their quality.

And a news story.

Should’ve signed a deal with Northshore care, Trest, or even Rearz but they don’t have a large bank account as Depends.

I say congratulations to Deion Saunders for being so forward and becoming a advocate.
