Fadingpain Posted August 20, 2014 Posted August 20, 2014 I think Jimbo is on a roll. Let's keep it going.
Rubes Posted August 20, 2014 Posted August 20, 2014 Whew, that's great to hear. But yeah, next week will be the real test.
DirtDart Posted August 20, 2014 Posted August 20, 2014 BREAKING: A source tells EWN HOF QB Jim Kelly received encouraging news today but has to go back next week for a biopsy. Kelly Strong....nuff said....wish him well.
The Wiz Posted August 20, 2014 Posted August 20, 2014 Championship! Great news for sure and hope next week is just as good.
kickedface Posted August 20, 2014 Posted August 20, 2014 AWESOME!!! hoping we can all look back at this and go hey remember when jimbo beat cancer, dude is a beast.
Canadian Bills Fan Posted August 20, 2014 Posted August 20, 2014 Great news! Maybe someone who knows can answer this but if the scan results are good, why is a biopsy needed? CBF
The Wiz Posted August 20, 2014 Posted August 20, 2014 Great news! Maybe someone who knows can answer this but if the scan results are good, why is a biopsy needed? CBF Scans can still be inconclusive. A biopsy is the only way to be sure the cancer cells are gone.
Marv's Neighbor Posted August 20, 2014 Posted August 20, 2014 Obviously I hope & pray for the best for Jim and his family, but didn't he get an all clear prior to this last bout? Cancer can be a difficult diagnosis. We pray that if he gets "good news" that it is in fact correct.
FistingBot Posted August 20, 2014 Posted August 20, 2014 Obviously I hope & pray for the best for Jim and his family, but didn't he get an all clear prior to this last bout? Cancer can be a difficult diagnosis. We pray that if he gets "good news" that it is in fact correct. I'm rooting for Jim like everyone else. But this form of cancer when it spreads to the sinus cavity is extremely difficult to treat. And, the obvious fear is that it spreads into the brain. Jim in luckier than most in that he can afford the very best care available. So, that will certainly help him in this battle. Kelly strong.
Rubes Posted August 20, 2014 Posted August 20, 2014 Great news! Maybe someone who knows can answer this but if the scan results are good, why is a biopsy needed? CBF Scans are less invasive and easier, but obviously don't have the same resolution to the microscopic scale as a biopsy would. But if the scan is positive, then you don't have to go through the invasive biopsy. On the flip side, if the scan is negative, you still don't know if there is microscopic disease still there, so you need the biopsy.
RevWarRifleman Posted August 20, 2014 Posted August 20, 2014 Prayers for you Jim & your family. Kelly tough, circle the wagons, all of that good stuff. Go Jim!!
Bob in Mich Posted August 27, 2014 Posted August 27, 2014 Anyone hear if/when biopsy results will be known? How long does something like that take?
bbb Posted August 27, 2014 Posted August 27, 2014 Anyone hear if/when biopsy results will be known? How long does something like that take? Retweeted by Jill Kelly Del Reid @mrdeadlier · 8h Kelly family headed to NYC today. Biopsy results normally take 3-5 days or so. Keep up your #PrayersForJK through the weekend.
