Buffalo Bills Hall of Fame quarterback Jim Kelly’s latest cancer scans have come back clean, according to his wife’s Instagram.
The news is welcomed after Kelly was first diagnosed with squamous cell carcinoma in his upper jaw in 2010. He was declared cancer-free in 2014, but in 2018 the oral cancer returned.
After testing showed his cancer returned in 2018, Jim Kelly underwent another round of treatment.
“The oral cancer we hoped would be gone forever has returned. Although I was shocked and deeply saddened to receive this news, I know that God is with me,” Kelly said in a statement. “I continuously talk about the four F’s: Faith, Family, Friends and Fans. With all of you by my side, we will fight and win this battle together. Staying ‘Kelly Tough’ and trusting God will carry us through this difficult time.”
The former NFL player also underwent surgery earlier this year for a cyst that was pushing on his spinal cord.
“My family’s been yelling at me for a long time, but I kept putting it off, putting it off putting it off. And I got to a point where I can’t put it off anymore. I just can’t wait for a day where I’m pain-free,” he said. ” Right now, my back’s killing me. Hopefully, nothing else is wrong.”
Thankfully God has heard his prayers, and subsequent scans, including his most recent have revealed that Kelly is cancer-free.
Let’s thank God that Jim Kelly remains cancer-free.
