Smoking and chewing tobacco is another huge risk factor.
    It's no secret that Kelly was a pretty big cocaine user in his day too. Considering his significant sinus problems and that the cancer is in his upper jaw area, I wonder if that could have been a cause too.

    Thoughts and prayers to Jim and his family.
    Should have known, way back in 1960 when we drafted Richie Lucas Number 1, that this would be a long, hard ride. But who could have known it would be THIS bad?

    Sinuses in the Maxilla(which is the bone that makes up your upper jaw, surrounds your nose and makes up your cheekbones.)

    I have never loved a Buffalo Bill player more than Jim Kelly. I wish Jim and the Kelly family all the best and will be sending all the good thoughts I can for a full recovery.

    Re: Jim Kelly has Cancer

    Novena To
    St. Peregrine


    Glorious wonder-worker, St. Peregrine, you answered the divine call with a ready spirit, and forsook all the comforts of a life of ease and all the empty honors of the world to dedicate yourself to God in the Order of His holy Mother.

    You labored manfully for the salvation of souls. In union with Jesus crucified, you endured painful sufferings with such patience as to deserve to be healed miraculously of an incurable cancer in your leg by a touch of His divine hand.

    Obtain for me the grace to answer every call of God and to fulfill His will in all the events of life. Enkindle in my heart a consuming zeal for the salvation of all men.

    Deliver me from the infirmities that afflict my body (especially.....).

    Obtain for me also a perfect resignation to the sufferings it may please God to send me, so that, imitating our crucified Savior and His sorrowful Mother, I may merit eternal glory in heaven.

    St. Peregrine, pray for me and for all who invoke your aid.


    I think Kelly is/was Catholic.

    It brought a tear to my eye when I read this this morning. Jimbo is Buffalo, and means so much to all of us. I wish him the best and my thoughts go out to him.

    So what? He said he had cancer of the bone. Squamous Cell Cancer doesn't arise from bone tissue that I know of.

    Bone. Bone. Bone. Kelly said bone. Sinus Cancer arises from the soft tissue lining.

    Squamous Cell Carcinoma does not arise from bone. Bone cancer is from malignant spread about 80% of the time (give or take). Then comes sarcomas which are not SCCs. He is not of the right age to have marrow issues and that particular spot is not typical for marrow issues anyway. So if the cell type is squamous cell, then it's not likely bone cancer - more likely something arising from the lining of the sinus that eroded into the bone locally.

    Bone tumors that are cancer (malignant)

    Osteosarcoma:Osteosarcoma (also called osteogenic sarcoma) is the most common true bone cancer. It is most common in young people between the ages of 10 and 30. But about 10% of cases are people in their 60s and 70s. This cancer is rare during middle age. More males than females get this cancer. These tumors start most often in bones of the arms, legs, or pelvis. This type of bone cancer is not discussed in this document, but is covered in detail in our document, Osteosarcoma.
    Chondrosarcoma:This is cancer of the cartilage cells. Cartilage is a softer form of bone-like tissue. Chondrosarcoma is the second most common true bone cancer. It is rare in people younger than 20. After age 20, the risk of this cancer keeps on rising until about age 75. Women get this cancer as often as men.
    Chondrosarcomas can develop in any place where there is cartilage. It most often starts in cartilage of the pelvis, leg, or arm, but it can start in many other places, too.
    Chondrosarcomas are given a grade, which measures how fast they grow. The lower the grade, the slower the cancer grows. When cancer grows slowly, the chance that it will spread is lower and the outlook is better. There are also some special types of chondrosarcoma that respond differently to treatment and have a different outlook for the patient. These special types look different when seen under a microscope.
    Ewing tumor:This cancer is also called Ewing sarcoma. It isnamed after Dr. James Ewing, the doctor who first described it in 1921. It is the third most common bone cancer. Most Ewing tumors start in bones, but they can start in other tissues and organs. This cancer is most common in children and teenagers. It is rare in adults older than 30. This type of bone cancer is not discussed in this document, but is covered in detail in our document, Ewing Family of Tumors.
    Malignant fibrous histiocytoma (MFH): This cancer more often starts in the soft tissues around bones (such as ligaments, tendons, fat, and muscle) rather than in the bone itself. If it starts in the bones, it most often affects the legs or arms. It usually occurs in older and middle-aged adults. MFH mostly tends to grow into nearby tissues, but it can spread to distant sites, like the lungs. (Another name for this cancer is pleomorphic undifferentiated sarcoma.)
    Fibrosarcoma: This is another type of cancer that starts more often in “soft tissues” than it does in the bones. Fibrosarcoma usually occurs in older and middle-aged adults. Leg, arm, and jaw bones are most often affected.
    Giant cell tumor of bone:This type of bone tumor has both benign (not cancer) and malignant forms. The benign form is most common. These don’t often spread to distant sites, but after surgery they tend to come back where they started. Each time they come back after surgery they are more likely to spread to other parts of the body. These tumors often affect the arm or leg bones of young and middle-aged adults.
    Chordoma:This tumor usually occurs in the base of the skull and bones of the spine. It is found most often in adults older than 30. It is about twice as common in men than in women. Chordomas tend to grow slowly and usually do not spread to other parts of the body. But they often come back in the same place if they are not removed completely. When they do spread, they tend to go to the lymph nodes, lungs, and liver.

    We should fight and argue about douchebaggery in the "Jim Kelly has Cancer" thread.

    Then again it is Billszone... Best wishes to Jim for a healthy and speedy recovery. Prayers with his family as well.
    Bye Bye Brady...
