“This past couple of weeks has been difficult for me and because of the nature of social media I thought it would be best to share with everyone what has been going on with my health. I was recently diagnosed with Squamous-cell carcinoma (cancer) of the upper jaw bone. I have undergone tests which have shown that the cancer is isolated to my upper jaw and has not spread to other parts of my body. Surgery is scheduled for June 7th and doctors have told me that the prognosis for my recovery is very good.

With the excellent medical care that I will be receiving and the loving care of my wife Jill and my daughters Erin and Camryn and the support of my entire family and friends, I am extremely confident in my road to recovery. I plan to tackle this challenge head on, as we Kelly’s always do, with toughness, perseverance and faith.

I want to thank everyone who has offered their prayers and would appreciate any prayers said for me and my family moving forward. May God continue to bless you and our family.”

Fucking cancer.

I hope everything turns out ok for him.

Amazing that we don't have a cure for this yet.

What's worse is that we haven't really made a bunch of progress with this disease either.

I wouldn't wish it on my worst enemy. It's a terrible thing that not only slowly and painfully destroys the infected person, but also the friends and family of that person.

Just an all around terrible experience that no one should have to go through.

Michael Douglas said he got his throat cancer from HPV...so Catherine Zeta Jones has VD.

 

[Deuce]

I'd still do her.

 

[Carp]

Of course...her going through the security lazer beams in Entrapment is still a boner festival for me.

This is just not true.

The advances in cancer are astronomical, 30 years ago Cancer was a signed sealed and delivered death sentence, now there are some types of cancer that have over 50% survival rate.
The first mistake is to think of cancer as one illness, it is not.

 

[Cujo]

Good luck to Jim and his family. I hope he beats it.

Possibly, but I doubt Zeta is the only one he's ever been with.

Also, something is wrong when Kelly has cancer and 70 yr old Jerry Jones is healthy as a horse.
