RutgersJetFan Posted August 20, 2014 Share Posted August 20, 2014 Great news. A physical examination of Hall of Fame quarterback Jim Kelly revealed no evidence of cancer, according to a press release Wednesday from the New York Head & Neck Institute at Lenox Hill Hospital in New York City. Kelly underwent the examination three months after completing seven weeks of radiation and three rounds of chemotherapy for sinus cancer. A series of tests over the coming weeks will determine if Kelly requires any more treatment. "Jim Kelly was evaluated yesterday at the New York Head & Neck Institute at Lenox Hill Hospital in Manhattan, three months after having completed the radiation and chemotherapy protocol designed to treat his recurrent sinus cancer. Dr. Peter Constantino, Executive Director of the Institute, stated that, 'The treatments so far have completely eliminated Mr. Kelly's pain, and his level of function has essentially returned to normal. Further, on physical examination, there is no evidence of the cancer.' Over the coming week, a series of tests will be performed to determine if any further treatment will be necessary. Constantino added, 'It is possible that no further treatment will be required, and the testing over the next week will define this issue.'" More: ‘Must Keep The Faith’ Fans have rallied in support of the Buffalo Bills star. On Tuesday, Kelly's wife, Jill, posted on her Facebook page asking followers to pray for her husband and saying the Kelly family was "encouraged and hopeful." http://www.si.com/nfl/2014/08/20/jim-kelly-cancer-exam-chemo-radiation Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SouthernJet Posted August 21, 2014 Share Posted August 21, 2014 True Jim Kelly story. He made a appearance as a guest presenter at ESPYs on ESPN right after the Bills 4th straight Super Bowl loss. He wasnt announced, he just came on stage to loud applause. When the applause stopped, he said: "Hi, I'm Jim Kelly QB of the Buffalo Bills and I am going to EuroDisney."
