Dallas Cowboys owner and general manager Jerry Jones has been opening up about a previous health scare after revealing he battled Stage 4 cancer for a decade after being diagnosed in 2010.

Jones beat the stage 4 melanoma with the help of an experimental drug called PD1.

The previous cancer diagnosis came to light after he hinted at a health battle in the upcoming Netflix docuseries America's Team: The Gambler and His Cowboys. Jones was asked questions the following day for clarification when he made the reveal.

On Thursday, Jones shared that the experimental treatment took a serious physical toll on his body and ultimately led to another major surgery: a double-hip replacement.

"It ate my hips up," Jones said while speaking to reporters on Thursday before the team bid farewell to Oxnard, as transcribed by The Cowboys Wire. "I had to have both hips replaced because it was rough on your bones.

"But other than that, I’m so proud to get to be sitting here with you guys and doing what we do."

Jones previously shared that his recovery also included two lung surgeries and two lymph node surgeries, so it was an intense battle that he ultimately overcame. It is also a rare look at the man behind the facade that he presents to the public while being the face of the Cowboys.

America's Team: The Gambler and His Cowboys is set to premiere on Tuesday, August 19, on Netflix. The 8-episode series will take a behind-the-scenes look at the rist of the great 1990s dynasty.
