WASHINGTON (March 23) - Presidential spokesman Tony Snow is undergoing surgery Monday to remove a 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 tests since the growth was discovered in his lower right pelvic area have been negative, 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.
Tony was a terrific addition to the Bush team, and my prayers are with him for a speedy recovery. The president and the country need him back and healthy.
