Tony Snow to Undergo Surgery

He's taking an aggressive path and we hope it's going to be successful.

White House Spokesman to Undergo Surgery

Presidential spokesman Tony Snow is undergoing surgery Monday to remove a small growth in his lower abdomen, a procedure he said was being done "out of an aggressive sense of caution" because he had colon cancer two years ago.

He said Friday that cancer tests have been negative since the growth - about the size of the tip of his small finger - was discovered in his lower right pelvic area, but that doctors decided to remove it to be sure.

"Please do not leap to conclusions about this because we don't know what this is," Snow told reporters. "We know it's coming out and I know I'll be back soon."

Snow, 51, had his colon removed in 2005 and underwent six months of chemotherapy after being diagnosed with colon cancer. He and his wife have three young children.

Typically, some of the commenters from Huffington Post cannot put aside their hatred. Not as bad as the bile toward Dick Cheney the other day, but give them time. Seems like just yesterday conservative bloggers were wishing Elizabeth Edwards well. Oh, that's right, it was yesterday.
