Kelly is a piece of iron.

The two leading causes of oral cancers (especially squamous cell) is Tobacco use and HPV (about a third of all oral cancers).

He'll probably have problems with this for the rest of his life, but it is rarely life threatening as long as you stay on top of it. He'll fe fine.... relatively. Op may have been a bit insensitive, but I would bet this is a case of oral squamous cell carcinoma associated with his history with alcoholism. Smoking and chewing tobacco is another huge risk factor.

Michael Douglas would agree with you.

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.

Well that sucks, get better Jim.

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.

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.

All the best to Jim. After what he's been thru he can definitely get thru this.

Waiting for OP to post that Jim has cancer because he was an alcoholic. Douche.
