nucci Posted June 3, 2013 Posted June 3, 2013 Anyone know anything about this specific cancer? http://www.skincancer.org/skin-cancer-information/squamous-cell-carcinoma
buffaloaggie Posted June 3, 2013 Posted June 3, 2013 (edited) Sounds similar to the cancer that Roger Ebert had. I hope they caught it early. George Karl also. Edited June 3, 2013 by buffaloaggie
jimmy10 Posted June 3, 2013 Posted June 3, 2013 (edited) http://www.skincancer.org/skin-cancer-information/squamous-cell-carcinoma I'm not a scientist or doctor, but I'm pretty sure squamous cells are a broad category of cells within the head and neck and that what Jim has is cancer of the jaw bone, not cancer of the skin as this link suggests. But I will defer to my more learned TSW associates. Also, before the haters swoop in again, all good vibes and well wishes currently being broadcast toward WNY for a speedy recovery. Get well soon, Jimbo! Edited June 3, 2013 by jimmyo
John Adams Posted June 3, 2013 Posted June 3, 2013 It's an aggressive form of cancer and if it's in the bone, they usually have to remove the affected bone. Best wishes Jim.

Kellyto83TD Posted June 3, 2013 Posted June 3, 2013 Damn :-( God Bless Jim you will be in our prayers
BillsGuyInMalta Posted June 3, 2013 Posted June 3, 2013 Sounds like they caught it early and thank God it hasn't spread. Prayers to Jim Kelly and his family. We all know you can beat this!

Get well soon, Jimbo! You're probably correct. I didn't do too much looking. Seems more serious if it's in the bone.
kabnt2005 Posted June 3, 2013 Posted June 3, 2013 God Bless Jim. Thoughts and prayers for a speedy recovery.
UConn James Posted June 3, 2013 Posted June 3, 2013 Just saw the announcement on the Bills FB page. Cancer sucks. Prayers incoming, Kelly family!
papazoid Posted June 3, 2013 Posted June 3, 2013 when I hear "serious battle" under our roof......I immediately think of cancer (my sister in law is fighting her battle and currently winning). prayers going Jim's way.... for those so inclined: The Ride For Roswell 2013 Saturday, June 22, 2013 (All day) http://www.roswellpark.org/calendar/2013-06-22/ride-roswell-2013
eball Posted June 3, 2013 Posted June 3, 2013 Best wishes, Jimbo. At least it sounds like the prognosis is good. Now I'll depart before the hate-fest resumes.
Canadian Bills Fan Posted June 3, 2013 Posted June 3, 2013 This is awful news. I hope they cought it early enough. Kick it's ass Jim! Prayers go out the entire Kelly family! CBF
