Terry Bradshaw says he's now cancer free

Terry Bradshaw of "FOX NFL Sunday" discussed his battles with bladder cancer and skin cancer and now being cancer free.

Bradshaw, 74, said he found a tumor in his neck earlier this year, and it turned out to be a Merkel cell tumor, a rare form of malignant skin cancer. He was treated at the MD Anderson Cancer Center in Houston.

"Folks, I may not look my old self, but I feel like my old self," Bradshaw said. "I’m cancer free. I’m feeling great."

Bradshaw played his entire career (1970-83) with the Pittsburgh Steelers and won four Super Bowls. He has been with FOX Sports since its inception in 1994.
