Someone do me a favor.  In the Comments section under the News article some genius typed in:  Honestly, who cares.  Can one of the locals go find that guy and smack him in the head for me?

So a quick google search: [Oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC)]

 

The prognosis of patients after recurrence was analyzed with the Kaplan-Meier method and log-rank test. The recurrence rate was 32.7%. The recurrence time ranged from 2 to 96 months, with a median of 14 months...Kaplan-Meier and log-rank tests showed that the 2- and 5-year survival rates were significantly lower in the recurrence group than in non-recurrence group (67.6% vs. 88.0%, 31.8% vs. 79.9%, P < 0.001)...

 

Recurrence is an important prognostic factor in patients with OSCC. Camisasca et al.[2] have reported that the 5-year survival rate was 92% in OSCC patients without recurrence and 30% in patients with recurrence (P < 0.001, log-rank test). The median survival was 76.8 months in patients without recurrence and 42.5 months in patients with recurrence (P < 0.001, log-rank test). Lindenblatt et al.[3] have reported that recurrence affected the 5-year survival rate and disease-free survival of patients with OSCC. Postoperative tumor recurrence leads to a poor prognosis and a poor quality of life.

Typical loser there.

Someday we are going to get really, really good at beating all types of cancer.   And it is sad that so many lives are lost to it in the learning phase just as they have been with so many other terrible diseases.    Even when you think you are living a lifestyle that is really helping to prevent situations like this - you are still at its mercy.

 

Such an evil disease.   Heart sinks for him and his family.

oral cancer, (i think it was an oral sarcoma?) is amazingly difficult to beat.  i'm always impressed when someone receives a clean diagnosis after any treatment, but with a recurrence like this, his life expectancy is significantly shorter.  good luck jimbo.  if there's anyone tough enough to deal with it, it's him.

 

Yep. my cousin had similar and beat it at 30. Came back at 31 and despite treatment he passed at 32. Unfortunately it always seems like your on borrowed time when its up in that region. Hopefully he makes it through but certainly not a good sign if it came back once more.

...just terrible news...just hope and pray there have been advancements in treating this type cancer from when it was originally diagnosed a few years back that are more effective today.....prayers to the Kelly family....

Cancer treatment in the us is dictated by the medical indaustial complex.  Its all BS. 

Bash this guy all you want, but he's not wrong.  Understand for most people your opinion is driven by your experiences

 

Good luck Jim K

Horrible news.

 

I'm not very surprised.  I posted a few years ago that I found it unusual that he didn't get adjuvant radiation therapy with his first surgery.
