Terry Bradshaw has disclosed he is now cancer-free after being treated for it over the last year.
The NFL commentator and former Pittsburgh Steelers player addressed his condition during the Oct. 2 episode of Fox NFL Sunday.
“In November, I was diagnosed with bladder cancer. I went to the Yale University Medical Center for treatment and as of today, I am bladder cancer-free. All right, that’s the good news,” he told viewers and the Fox NFL Sunday panel.
Bradshaw also shared that he had been battling a form of skin cancer, which is described as rare and mostly developing in people of an older age, according to the Mayo Clinic.

“In March, feeling good, I had a bad neck, I get an MRI and now we find a tumor in my left neck,” he recalled. “And it’s a Merkle cell tumor, which is a rare form of skin cancer. So I had that surgery done at M.D. Anderson [Cancer Center] in Houston.”
The NFL legend revealed no other details, but reiterated that he’s “cancer free” and appreciates fans’ support.
“Folks, I may not look like my old self, but I feel like my old self,” he said. “I’m cancer free. I’m feeling great and over time I’m going to be back to where I normally am. So I appreciate your prayers and your concern.”
The discussion was prompted by the football legend having difficulty breathing during a previous episode of the show.
“I ran out of breath and Howie [Long] helped me off and a lot of people have asked what’s wrong with me, what’s happened to me physically and I just want to address it and let you know what has happened in my life,” the Hall of Fame quarterback explained.
