Cowboys owner Jerry Jones admitted he didn’t know the tumors he had over a decade ago were actually terminal. Jones eventuallytried an experimental drugthat helped cure him of any cancer and that has kept him healthy since.
Jones, 82, heads into the 2025 season with the Cowboys looking to return to the playoffs and make a run. Dallas is searching for their first Super Bowl title since Super Bowl XXX from the 1995-96 season.
Per the report, Jones was diagnosed in 2010 and then he began treatment at MD Anderson Cancer Center in Houston. Over the course of the last decade-plus, he had four surgeries: two lung surgeries and two lymph node surgeries.
“I just really didn’t even recognize that it was terminal,”Jones said on Fox and Friends. “And I listened to some good advice. I had some great doctors, really, all over this country, but in doing so, I tried something very experimental. And the people down at MD Anderson, I had a great doctor in Little Rock, Arkansas, and we got involved in a drug called PD 1, and it was experimental. It was very, very effective. I had several tumors at that time. They’re all gone. Now, it’s 15 years later, and there are just no tumors and haven’t had (them) for many years.”
Right now, Jones has a different battle on his hands. Right now, it’s off the field with star pass rusher Micah Parsons, amid a contract dispute. Jones actually claimed that the Cowboys are going to have Parsons for three more years “ no matter what.”
