Jim Kelly’s wife says scans show ‘no evidence of cancer’
Jill Kelly, wife of football Hall of Famer Jim Kelly, shared a photo and news on Kelly’s MRI and CT scans to her personal Instagram account Wednesday.
According to the post, the former Buffalo Bill is cancer-free again.
“Still working through major pain management, but PRAISE THE LORD, no evidence of cancer,” Jill Kelly wrote under the photo.
In 2013, the Pro Football Hall of Fame quarterback underwent surgery to remove squamous cell carcinoma in his jaw. After undergoing chemotherapy and radiation treatment when the cancer returned, Kelly was declared cancer-free in 2014.
In March, Kelly announced that doctors had found evidence of oral cancer after being cancer-free for over three years. He went through another surgery to remove the cancer and reconstruct his jaw.
Kelly played in the National Football League for 11 seasons, spending the entirety of his career with the Buffalo Bills. He was awarded the Jimmy V Award for Perseverance at the 2018 ESPYS.
