Hall of Fame quarterback Jim Kelly showed no evidence of cancer in tests taken Wednesday in New York City, his wife, Jill, posted on Instagram.

 

Double thumbs up! MRI and CTScans are clear. Still working through major pain management, but PRAISE THE LORD, no evidence of cancer. And can I just say, Jim’s brothers are amazing! I’ve watched them stand with Jim in good times and bad. I’ve witnessed a love between siblings that is remarkable. What a blessing to be part of such an amazing family. Thank you Pat, Ray, Ed, Danny and Kevin for being an example of what a loving, devoted family should look like. Add your humor and faith to the mix and we have everything we need. Love you guys so much!

Kelly’s last surgery came in mid-June, when he had five implants inserted into the new bone in his upper jaw. Permanent dentures are expected to be inserted in September.

Kelly was first diagnosed with cancer in 2013. He said in early March this year that he had squamous cell carcinoma in the upper right jaw that would require surgery. He underwent that procedure in late March.

A similar form of the disease was surgically removed from his upper left jaw at ECMC in 2015.
