He looks like he's aged a lot the last couple years. Poor guy. Praying for Jimbo He will undergo a couple more procedures to reconstruct his jaw from what I remember.

stony Posted May 11, 2018 Share Posted May 11, 2018 2 hours ago, SouthNYfan said: Yeah definitely. Fibula resection is a tough one. I treated a guy last year who had similar procedure, fibula bone piece taken out and grafted into his shoulder (not jaw) His walking came back pretty quick, but it was painful. He also wasn't a cancer patient, so bone healing is a lot slower for Jim due to that. Wishing him the best. I met him as a kid back in the early 90s, was a great experience. Modern medicine blows my mind. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have a relative who went through something kind of similar, looks and talks completely different now. I don't know, but i saw another clip of all the reporters walking with JK and Allen off the field. Allen made some nice comments, they kept asking Jim questions and he couldn't speak other than garbling a couple words. He gave thumbs up and said something like "talk soon". So as of now I don't think he can really talk and I'd imagine it would take a long time to speak even close to normal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zow2 Posted May 11, 2018 Share Posted May 11, 2018 I have a doctor friend up in Buffalo who knows the Kelly situation pretty well. After Kelly's first surgery he told me it is worse than the public knows. Now he's still going in 2018, albeit having a rough time. I think we all need to keep saying some prayers for Jimbo. He's outlasted this terrible disease longer than some insiders thought he would. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trying like heck to get my 18 year old to stop chewing. Thank you for not making the assumption that Jim is a chewer. I've learned from personal experience not to make assumptions when it comes to cancer. I recently gave an update on my cancer story on another message board. I had a stage two lung cancer tumor removed a year ago February, along with part of my right lung, then underwent chemotherapy for 2 1/2 months. At this point there is no apparent cancer remaining. Anyway, as a response, a well meaning poster, allong with wishing me the best suggested it was highly likely I was a smoker, and should do my best to quit. I took three puffs on a cigarette I go a hold of when I was in third grade and decided that was something I never wanted to do. Since them (about 58 years) I have been a passionate non-smoker. 20% of lung cancer cases occur in non-smokers. I don't know what the percentages are with cancer of the mouth and jaw, but I'm sure it does just "happen" in a statistically significant number of cases. Good luck dealing with your 18 year old, by the way. I have a 19 year old adopted daughter who is a smoker, among other things. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jimmy10 Posted May 12, 2018 Share Posted May 12, 2018 Updated opinion from my wife, the medical speech therapist who has worked with a lot of patients in Jim’s predicament: - He’s skinny, but looks good. Way less disfigured than she thought he would at this point. - Note the bottle of water in his back pocket. If he’s drinking water, that means all of his swallowing functions are doing ok. Which is good, because the radiation treatment burns the hell out of your mouth and makes it very dry all the time. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
