Friday night up in Buffalo for the SU game, we ended up having dinner with a friend of Jim Kelly's who had seen him earlier that day. He showed us pictures of Andre Reed, Thurman Thomas, other former teammates, family, church friends  etc visiting him. He works for one of Jim Kelly's brothers. Very sad and according to him he's in tremendous pain. He had multiple nerve blocks in short time periods that don't eliminate the pain at all anymore. The cancer is following a nerve that goes through his jaw but has moved under the ear and into the back of his skull. The pace of the advance is frightening. This guy said he hopes that the surgery held yesterday at the very least, eases the pain.

He said that Jim Kelly has gone through a huge metamorphosis since his son's death and is not the same guy he used to be.(?)   He's become a born again Christian and despite the pain, he will always continue fighting but is at peace with whatever happens. He said his wife Jill has been remarkable. I was surprised how open this man was Friday night telling us about it,  showing cellphone pics etc but soon afterwards it seems from media coverage etc the family as a whole is very open about his condition and his battle. Best wishes to him and his family and cancer certainly does suck.
