WASHINGTON — White House Press Secretary Tony Snow is once again stricken with cancer after doctors found a cancerous growth in his lower abdomen, the White House announced Tuesday.
The cancer, originally in his colon, has spread to his liver, said White House spokeswoman Dana Perino. Snow spoke to President Bush Tuesday morning, who told Snow he and first lady Laura Bush are praying for him.
Bush struck an optimistic tone about Snow's mood, adding that he looked forward to the day when Snow returns to the White House.

This sucks.
Damn.
Anyone know what is the expectations for successful treatment?
I know things have been getting better and better for treating cancers over the years.
Tony Snow is one of the best hires the Bush administration ever did.
I know things have been getting better and better for treating cancers over the years.
If it's in his liver, he's most likely not going to survive the year, if one of my close family member's experience is a good gauge.
I’ve been fighting the same Stage 4 cancer as Tony for over 4 years. I have a full time jon (50+ hours a week and am currently undergoing my third round of Chemo. The long term prognosis, for me is pretty good. I pray that it is at least as good for Tony.
Never fast enough. Our neighbor was just diagnosed with terminal, inoperable, incurable intestinal cancer. They have given him 6-12 months to live. Imagine where we would be with cancer today if they received the money that has gone to AIDS in the last 20 years.
See my recent post to Ash
Every cancer is different. Stage 4 liver cancer (what I have) is treatable. Hard to cure, but treatable.
Oh sure, just 'cuz Edwards can play that card... I can see right through this...

God Bless him. My dad just got past thyroid cancer, my mom had breast cancer. Pray for him (and all who are under threat from it).
Man, I do hope it can fight this and win, he is indeed awesome!!!!
Go Tony, Go!!!
Wow, that's awesome that you have been able to fight it for so long! Praise GOD!
Prayers for you, noname, as well as for Tony Snow.
I just said pretty much the same thing on another thread. What makes me angry is that AIDS is fully preventable. How about pumping some $$$$ into research for cancer which can strike anyone at anytime. Of course, it's hard to compete with Bono, Elizabeth Taylor and the loud-mouth AIDS activists.
I just checked out your profile. Thanks for your service to our country and you have my prayers.
I'll bet you said it a lot better than I did.
If I smoked a pack a day for forty years, how much sympathy would I get from the left if I got lung cancer?
Zero.
My Dad died from this.
St. Jude, help of the hopeless, help him.
I just read those vile comments shown on Little Green Footballs. Clearly the detractors have no shame. It is a testament to everything I had always known about the kinds of people who wallow and feed in the decay found in the lunatic mainstream of American Liberalism.
