"I found out great news on Wednesday," Kelly said Monday at the opening of his 26th annual Jim Kelly Football Camp. "I don’t have to go through radiation treatment and chemo, which is a blessing.

"I’ve lost 14 pounds, which is good," Kelly said. "I need to lose about 10 or 15 more. I cannot eat any solid foods like steaks or chicken or anything hard that I have to bite on because I did have most of my teeth removed in the front and in the back."
