He's endured far more tragedy than any man should. Best wishes, Jim.

Maybe this is the Super Bowl he can win?
Best wishes Jim Kelly. Under rated as a quarterback. |

One of the greats. It was a joy to watch him play growing up. I hope he beats this.

Having lost a parent to cancer I cant imagine what his daughter is going through. Hearing that the cancer has returned is about the worse feeling a family can go through. Best of luck to Jim and his family.

55% 5 year for advanced local disease, but if he has lymph mets (which I am assuming so because they said "spreading"), that is a very bad prognostic indicator.

So, My GF is an oncology nurse, and I have learned a lot about cancer over the last year or so.
I was previously under the impression, I guess from all of the Lance Armstrong types of stories on television, and not having any first hand experience with the beast, that most people beat cancer Unfortunately, this is very far from the truth, and the survival rate, depending on what type you have, of course, is very, very low. My prayers go to any of you who Have had this disease hit close to home. |
