Deion Sanders: "Let's stop being ashamed" about bladder cancer struggles
University of Colorado head football coach Deion Sanders got candid about the challenges he went through with his bladder cancer diagnosis, from dealing with a catheter to using adult diapers and more. In a news conference Monday, Sanders, 57, revealed he is now cancer-free, but didn't shy away from sharing details on what he called his tremendous and tough journey. "I'm still dealing with going to the bathroom. It's a whole life change," he said. "I'm gonna be transparent. I can't pee like I used to pee. It's totally different." With a smile, he added he has to "depend on Depend," referencing the adult diaper brand. "I cannot control my bladder, so I get up to go to the bathroom already four or five times a night," he added. He joked that he's going through the "same trials and tribulations" as his young grandson. "I'm making a joke out of it, but it's real. So if you see port-a-potty on the sideline, it's real. I'm just telling you right now, you're gonna see it." In addition to the changes to his bladder control, he also dropped about 25 pounds throughout the treatment process, which included laparoscopic surgery to remove his bladder and the creation of a new one from other tissue. Sanders said he's still about 12 pounds below his average weight but feels "strong," "able" and "ready." Sanders said he recognized a lot of other people are going through what he is, and he wanted to send them a special message: "Let's stop being ashamed of it, and let's deal with it, and let's deal with it head-on." He also used the opportunity to encourage others to take care of their health and get checkups. "Men, everybody, get checked out, because if it wasn't for me getting tested for something else, they wouldn't have stumbled up on this," he said. "Especially African American men, we don't like going to the doctors. We don't like nothing to do with a doctor." But he added he's "not just talking to the brothers — I'm talking to my Caucasian brothers, my Hispanic brothers, my Asian brothers, my everybody — and my sisters. Get checked out. Because it could have been a whole other gathering if I hadn't."

Dear Abby: My son's fat, unhygienic girlfriend has changed him
DEAR ABBY: Our 23-year-old son, 'Ed,' was clean-cut, into working out and staying healthy, watched his diet — he even joined a gym and was going every week. Ed has been dating a girl, 'Emily,' who is the complete opposite. She's probably a hundred pounds overweight. She's also dirty, (when she comes here, there have been days she doesn't take a shower). Twice I have found Emily's lingerie on the floor. Last week, she left a pair of her panties on the bathroom floor. I showed Ed and told him that was the second time I had found her underwear (the first time I didn't say anything). I said, 'You have to talk to Emily and tell her not to leave her underwear laying around.' I see a change in Ed. My son hasn't cut his hair in 2 1/2 years and he no longer appears to be as into working out. This is not who we are as a family. My husband and I are fit for our ages (60s) and by all standards clean and orderly. Should I say anything to Ed? I feel like Emily is changing who he is. — NOT THE SAME IN THE EAST DEAR NOT THE SAME: Please stop blaming Emily for the changes you have observed. Your son is making those changes himself. Although his girlfriend appears to be ignorant about basic hygiene, I am not sure you are the parent who should discuss this with Ed. He might be less defensive if 'the talk' comes from his father, man to man. I am unclear if your son still lives in the home with you or if he and his girlfriend have a place of their own. If it's the former, you would certainly be within your rights to point out that you have a hamper for soiled clothes and to please use it. If they live separately, consider gifting them one for their place. DEAR ABBY: My husband passed away three years ago. We were married for 56 years. Four months prior to our large, California, Catholic wedding, we eloped and were married secretly in Las Vegas. No one ever found out. Coming from a Hispanic family, my father wouldn't have been receptive, so we said nothing. In retrospect, it was a stupid thing to do. I was only 19, and he was 22. When he retired from law enforcement, we relocated to Washington, where I still live. I have two adult daughters, and I'm wondering if this is something they need to know. I still have our Las Vegas marriage certificate, along with our California marriage certificate — the one we always celebrated as our anniversary date. Would it be wrong to tear up the Las Vegas certificate and take this secret to my grave? — WONDERING IN WASHINGTON DEAR WONDERING: I don't think an elopement between a young couple who are deeply in love is anything to be ashamed of. Nor do I think your love story is at all 'stupid.' As long as they hurt no one, folks are entitled to a few 'secrets.' If you wish to take this one to your grave, it's your privilege, and you will get no argument from me. I would, however, point out that because your first marriage license is a legal document, rather than destroy it, keep it under lock and key until you have left this earthly toil.
