Heard on the radio today that they are not doing surgery and he's going to continue undergoing chemo. They said the cancer is in a place where it's not feasible to perform surgery. Doesn't sound good..
I read that in a news story as well. It looks like he has invasive squamous cell carcinoma. Like the story said, it's the location that limits treatment options.
Best to Kelly and his family

Damnit!!!! This is EXACTLY what El Josey Wales had last year. The cancer started in his mouth, just like Kelly's did.
This is terrible news to hear.

On Wednesday, though, she wrote that the surgery has been canceled because "the cancer is in areas that surgery cannot successfully eradicate."
"Because of complexity and aggressive nature of this cancer and after more scans and tests, the plan has changed," Jill Kelly wrote on her Facebook page. "At this point, Jim will not be having surgery ... Therefore, the medical specialists here in NYC along with our Buffalo team believe that chemotherapy and radiation are the best option."
On the upside though....

But here perhaps is some good news. Here's what Dr. Peter Constantino, executive director of the hospital's New York Head & Neck Institute, said, via WIVB.com:
“Jim Kelly's condition remains very treatable and potentially curable. Our immediate focus is on controlling his pain and beginning the process of eradicating the cancer.”
So maybe they can still do the chemo and radiation and it'll take care of it.
