Matthew Stafford’s wife, Kelly set some records straight about her health on her social media account.

"There is a bunch circulating right now and want to reiterate that I DO NOT HAVE CANCER."
"If journalists actually took time to check facts these days, they would know this. I’m infuriated. Most the time I wouldn’t care what people wrote because it didn’t matter."
"THIS MATTERS."
"This matters because it takes away from the people who are fighting this horrible disease.. fighting to live another day, fighting to be there with the ones they love, fighting 24/7. So PLEASE send your prayers to them. I will reiterate it again, I do not have cancer and I have never had cancer."
"I’m so sorry again for the ones who are fighting. "🙏
"And to you so called journalists out there, be better."
"And stop using me as click bait because nfl camp is starting back "🙄
