jimmy10 Posted May 12, 2018 Posted May 12, 2018 Updated opinion from my wife, the medical speech therapist who has worked with a lot of patients in Jim’s predicament: - He’s skinny, but looks good. Way less disfigured than she thought he would at this point. - Note the bottle of water in his back pocket. If he’s drinking water, that means all of his swallowing functions are doing ok. Which is good, because the radiation treatment burns the hell out of your mouth and makes it very dry all the time. 4

Misterbluesky Posted May 13, 2018 Posted May 13, 2018 Saw the video of him last nice on the news,glad to see him getting around and about. Our new QB said he was shaking when Jimbo came up to him for a conversation. Keep it up,Jimbo!!
Ice bowl 67 Posted May 13, 2018 Posted May 13, 2018 Prayers to Jim that he has a fast and full recovery and his cancer is gone for good.

I've learned from personal experience not to make assumptions when it comes to cancer. I recently gave an update on my cancer story on another message board. I had a stage two lung cancer tumor removed a year ago February, along with part of my right lung, then underwent chemotherapy for 2 1/2 months. At this point there is no apparent cancer remaining. Anyway, as a response, a well meaning poster, allong with wishing me the best suggested it was highly likely I was a smoker, and should do my best to quit. I took three puffs on a cigarette I go a hold of when I was in third grade and decided that was something I never wanted to do. Since them (about 58 years) I have been a passionate non-smoker. 20% of lung cancer cases occur in non-smokers. I don't know what the percentages are with cancer of the mouth and jaw, but I'm sure it does just "happen" in a statistically significant number of cases. Good luck dealing with your 18 year old, by the way. I have a 19 year old adopted daughter who is a smoker, among other things. I'm happy your doing well Tiger. Continued prayers for ya buddy.

Just for information, Jim Kelly is said not to have been a tobacco chewer or smoker. Best wishes you continue to do well. Cherish every day.
Mr. WEO Posted May 14, 2018 Posted May 14, 2018 On 5/11/2018 at 3:59 PM, TheElectricCompany said: I'm sure each of us have heard different things, I certainly have heard plenty on JKs situation (FWIW, I've got a very close source), but this wouldn't be the place to share them.... I think what he's told the public is all that anyone really needs to know. No radiation after his first surgery...that was very unusual. Recurred not long after...

26CornerBlitz Posted May 17, 2018 Author Posted May 17, 2018 Jim Kelly Scheduled for More Surgery Amid Oral Cancer Battle Kelly had a massive surgery in March to reconstruct his upper jaw, but he will have another in June to stabilize it. According to Kelly's wife, there might be another procedure in September.
Beast Posted May 18, 2018 Posted May 18, 2018 The positive about the photo above is that you can recognize Jim compared to the photos a week or two ago.
row_33 Posted June 4, 2018 Posted June 4, 2018 quite a few people in my life are coming down with jaw and neck problems, most were not diagnosed early on, had to see a specialist who basically diagnosed them on the spot, then they got treatment good news about Jim!
