Terry Bradshaw Health Update
Terry Bradshaw won a Super Bowl as a football player in the 1970s and has been a popular sports commentator on FOX NFL Sunday since 1994.

Terry’s November 2022 interview with Today said that he hid the fight because he didn’t want people to “pity” him. He said, “I didn’t talk about it because I didn’t want sympathy. I didn’t talk about it because when a lot of famous people say something like that—unfortunately, I’m one of them—I think millions of people in America think, ‘Aw, look at him.'”
The Pro Football Hall of Famer didn’t even talk about it on social media at the time. Instead, he used Instagram to share a picture with his friend William Shatner a few weeks after being told he had cancer. His wife, Tammy Bradshaw, didn’t tell anyone about it because she was scared of what would happen.

What Is Merkel Cell Skin Cancer?
The American Cancer Society says that Terry had to first deal with his battle with bladder cancer. This disease happens when cells in the urinary bladder start to grow out of control and form tumors. Over time, the cancer may spread from the bladder to organs and structures nearby.
The source of the news said that urothelial carcinoma, which is also called transitional cell carcinoma (TCC), is the most common type of bladder cancer.
Merkel cell carcinoma is a rare type of skin cancer that usually shows up as a flesh-colored or bluish-red lump on the face, head, or neck, according to the Mayo Clinic. It is also known as neuroendocrine carcinoma of the skin. The Mayo Clinic says that “long-term sun exposure or a weak immune system” may make it more likely to get.
How Long Has Terry Bradshaw Been Unwell?
Terry said he was told he had cancer in November 2021 when he told everyone the shocking news in 2022. As was already said, he beat it, but in March 2022, he soon found out that he had also gotten a rare form of skin cancer.
