Jim Kelly, the Hall Of Fame and four-time Super Bowl quarterback who spent his entire NFL career with theBuffalo Bills, recently learned that his cancer has returned.

Kelly was diagnosed with oral cancer initially last summer and had surgery to remove the tumor and cancerous cells and then rebuild his jaw. Chemotherapy and radiation treatment were not deemed necessary at the time. But now the cancer as recurred.

Kelly will travel to New York City next week for treatment. Dr. Thom Loree, head and neck surgeon at The Center for Oncology Care at Eric County Medical Center, issued the following statement on Kelly's behalf.

Very sorry to hear this.  Searched a few articles and it sounds like this is a very tough fight for Jim Kelly.  It is hard to understand why such bad things happen to good people.  I wish the best for Jim and his family.

I hate to add to this but it really is a hard time for the fans of us Bills fans right now.  Ralph C Wilson, Jr. just passed away, and everyones favorite player - or at least QB, is battling for his life.

 

For those who do not realize what Wilson did for the NFL they really need to go look back at the early days of the AFL.  They were going in to bankruptcy and Wilson bailed them out.  Wilson was interested in an AFL team and was denied the Miami team and could not get a team in Detroit (his hometown).  When the Buffalo option came in he sent a wire to the AFL commisioner that said to count him in for Buffalo.  $25k is all it took to buy the Bills.

 

The capital gains tax is going to be HUGE.

 

LA Times write up:

 

 

 

He was in the Navy, fought in World War II and more than once had a front-row seat to history.

"He was a commander on a mine sweeper, which is a wooden boat waiting to be blown up," said Joe Horrigan, vice president of the Pro Football Hall of Fame, which enshrined Wilson in 2009. "He was one of the early responders after Pearl Harbor was attacked. He was at Hiroshima after the bomb. He was on the Missouri when the Japanese surrender took place. And he would never, ever talk about it.

 

I'm too new to start a new thread, sorry to be putting this here.

His daughter goes to my school and the entire campus has been praying for him.

Hopefully everything works out.

I read an article today that said a cure was possible for him with radiation and chemo.  Don't know what the odds are but hope it works.  Apparantly he did not have either before, guess they thought surgery was enough.
