In early October, Terry Bradshaw revealed he was cancer free. The news came as a shock, because few people knew Bradshaw had cancer in the first place. The Pro Football Hall of Famer and longtime FOX Sports NFL analyst wanted it that way.
“I didn’t talk about it because I didn’t want pity,” Bradshaw said in an interview with The Today Show. “I didn’t talk about it because a lot of celebrities — unfortunately, I’m one of those — when they say this, I think the perception around America with all the the millions of people is, ‘Aw, look at him. Bless his heart. He has cancer. Well, my husband died of cancer! My kids are…’ I didn’t want that.”
Bradshaw was diagnosed with bladder cancer in November of 2021, and then a merkel cell tumor was discovered on his neck in March of this year. He had the tumor removed and is now cancer free.
