Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones has revealed a decade-long battle with Stage 4 melanoma, which he was diagnosed with in June 2010. He underwent four surgeries and received treatment at Houston’s MD Anderson Cancer Center before joining an experimental PD-1 immunotherapy trial that he credits with saving his life. The trial helped improve his survival rate from 35% to around 50%. Jones now has no tumors and considers the drug a “miracle”. His passion for football helped him overcome the adversity, while another Cowboys staff member, head coach Brian Schottenheimer, praised Jones’ courage in sharing his story. Schottenheimer also shared his own experience with thyroid cancer at age 28, emphasizing that cancer affects anyone and can be fought with determination.
