Former Buffalo Bills quarterback Jim Kelly received good news Thursday, learning that the biopsies taken last week in Manhattan showed no signs of his oral cancer. Kelly was first diagnosed with squamous cell carcinoma in 2013 and a portion of his jaw was removed. The cancer recurred earlier this year and Kelly underwent chemotherapy and radiation treatments in New York City and Buffalo.
In a prepared statement, Kelly said "This is some of the greatest news I've ever gotten. It's been a long road and I'm still not back to one hundred percent, but I have a lot to be thankful for."
Kelly also went on to thank those who offered support for his recovery, including family, friends, and medical specialists.
He also cited his faith, which he says made him "Kelly Tough."
