Kelly sees jawbone cancer as ëanother river to cross’

‘”When you hear the word cancer it actually scares the crap out of you,” Kelly told reporters at his celebrity golf tournament Monday. “I know it not only scared me, but it scared my family. But like everything, it’s just another river to cross.”‘

Cancer faces a fighter tested on, off field

‘It seemed somehow fitting for Jim Kelly to tell the world about his jaw cancer at the start of his annual golf tournament Monday.’

Survival rate for Kelly’s variety of cancer is above 50%

‘Oral squamous-cell carcinoma affects about 30,000 Americans each year, according to the Merck Manual, a well-respected medical textbook. In the U.S., 3 percent of cancers in men and 2 percent in women are oral squamous-cell carcinomas, which mostly occur in people older than 50. Typical treatment includes surgery, radiation or both.’

Improvement seen in diagnosing, caring for head, neck cancer

‘The overall five-year survival rate is above 50 percent, but it’s difficult to make broad generalizations about cancers of the head and neck because the treatment and prognosis can vary by site and stage.’

‘He’s got a lot more living to do – and a lot more to accomplish.’

Polian likes direction Bills are going in

‘ “He’s decisive, he’s tough, he’s hard-nosed, he knows how to play and he’s got a great track record,” continued Polian on Marrone. “That is the first step in the right direction. They have got a coach who knows how to win and has a plan to win. The rest of it now is putting the pieces in place.”‘

Former Bills quarterback Jim Kelly says he has cancer in jaw bone

‘”I am extremely confident in my road to recovery,” Kelly said in his statement. “I plan to tackle this challenge head on, as we Kellys always do, with toughness, perseverance and faith.”‘

”’The first thought is you say a prayer that everything works out OK,” said Bill Polian, former general manager of the Bills. ”Secondly, he didn’t earn a reputation as the toughest guy ever to play quarterback for no reason at all. So if anybody can overcome this, Jim can. He takes challenges head on.”’
