Tony Snow’s cancer has returned
Via Wizbang:
WASHINGTON (AP) – Presidential spokesman Tony Snow’s surgery to remove a small growth showed that his cancer has returned, the White House said Tuesday.
Snow, 51, had his colon removed in 2005 and underwent six months of chemotherapy after being diagnosed with colon cancer. A small growth was discovered last year in his lower right pelvic area, and it was removed on Monday. Doctors determined that it was cancerous, and that his cancer had metastized, or spread, to his liver, White House spokeswoman Dana Perino said.
She said Snow is resting comfortably after his surgery and has pledged to aggressively fight the disease with an as-yet-to-be-determined treatment course.
“He said he’s going to beat it again,” Perino said in an emotional morning briefing with White House reporters. “When I talked to him, he was in very good spirits.”
Really bad news. Tony Snow is a great guy. I really liked his work as a news anchor and radio talk show host, I love him as White House Press Secretary. It has been a long time since someone spoke truth to stupid the way Tony does.
It sickens me that most of the left side of the blogosphere will be cheering this news and wishing Tony a painful death — the peace lovers are a hateful bunch.
Please include Tony Snow in your thoughts and prayers.
