The studio fell completely silent this morning on Good Morning America. Under the bright lights that usually sparkle with laughter, Michael Strahan’s voice trembled as he took a deep breath — and shared the words no one saw coming. “I’ve been diagnosed with cancer,” he said softly, holding back tears. “And I wanted you all to hear it from me.” Robin Roberts immediately reached for his hand, her eyes welling up. George Stephanopoulos looked down, visibly shaken. The entire set dissolved into tears as Michael thanked viewers for “their love, their prayers, and their strength.” Audience members watching at home flooded social media with heartbreak and support. “I’m crying at work right now,” one fan posted. “Michael has carried us through so many mornings — now we’ll carry him.”
The current Colorado head coach feared for his life and even wrote a will.
“Love you my man… and can’t wait to see you back out there doing what you are meant to do, COACH!!
“This photo is from back in the day when he was coaching high school ball.
“‘He ain’t new to this, he’s true to it’… if you don’t believe he’s doing this for the love of the kids and giving young men and women an opportunity on and off the field, I respectfully ask you to please think again.”
Opening up on his brave battle, Sanders revealed he did not even tell his NFL sons Sheduer and Shilo that he had cnc3r.

“I cannot control my bladd3r. So I get up to go to the bathroom already 4-5 times a night.
“And I’m sitting there waking up like my grandson. We in the same thing.
“We got the same problem right now. We’re going through the same trials and tribulations.
“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.”
He encouraged men to go to the doctors, adding: “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.
“Especially African American men, we don’t like going to the doctors. We don’t like nothing to do with a doctor.
“I’m 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.”
