She revealed that her husband will still have to go through major pain management, but the latest trip to the doctor was a hugely positive one.
Jill also thanked Jim's brothers — Danny, Ed, Kevin, Pat and Ray — for continuing to provide plenty of support for him in "good times and bad." She added, "I've witnessed a love between siblings that is remarkable. What a blessing to be part of such an amazing family."
For Jim, the scans returning clean is the latest breakthrough in what has turned into an ongoing battle against cancer.
Jim's saga began in June of 2013 when he was diagnosed with cancer in his upper jaw. The surgery worked and he became cancer-free, but the disease recurred in March of the following year. Kelly would again be cleared of cancer a few months later in August after undergoing chemotherapy.
Kelly's cancer returned earlier this year, but he has once again managed to be rid of the disease.
In recognition of Kelly's continuing fight for his life and the courage he has shown all throughout his ordeal, he was awarded with the Jimmy V Award for Perseverance at the ESPYS earlier this month.
During his acceptance speech, an emotional Kelly talked about the impact that his son, Hunter, who died back in 2005, has had on his life.
