My prayers are with Tony and his family.

This more than just liver cancer, it is metastiac colon cancer. I lift up Tony, his wife and family to the great physician.

[Wormwood]

Before he took his current job, he was kind enough to answer some posts of mine on the daily Tony Snow thread.

I had forgotten about that thread! It was EPIC!

Thanks for reminding me!

[Arrowhead1952]

Prayers for you and your family Tony.

I am sure Tony knew what he was getting into. But, I also think he had/has a strong desire for public service and wanted to contribute something of himself to that end.

Dear God, please bless ab=bd be with Tony and his family and help Tony get well.

[HonestConservative]

I am no MD, but an RN and certainly not an expert in cancer tx, but that does sound correct to me;Prayerfully for the Snow family. Thank you for that positive info.

[stevio]

Lord, please be with the Snow family.

It isn't liver cancer. It is a recurrence and spread of his colon cancer. The chances aren't good, but there is a chance for survival.

This more than just liver cancer, it is metastiac colon cancer.

Can someone explain the difference between Liver Cancer and a Metastisized Cancer?

I just heard Dr. Manny Alvarez on Fox News talking about Tony's diagnosis. He sounded more positive than I expected. It sounded like liver cancer that spreads from colon cancer is different than cancer that starts in the liver. He said it is not uncommon that when colon cancer metastizes it spreads to the liver. He said that because they have been monitoring him very often and that the lesion is small that should be treatable. They removed the lesion and will analyze the type of cells and then decide what type of chemo. He said they can deliver treatment right into the liver at the site of the lesion. He said it is very possible that Tony will again be in remission. I hope he is right.

Thank you for posting this, ShayTex. I heard Dr Manny speaking about this on FNC about a half hour ago, but couldn't remember specifically all he said...

Many more prayers for Tony and his family...

Us snowflakes are awaiting his return to radio!

Pres. Bush has just borrowed him from us for a while.

[Gator113]

Love, respect and prayers pour out for you Tony.

May your strength, your faith, the strength of your family, millions of prayers and the blessing of God pull you through this.

[EndWelfareToday]

Wow... What a bummer. I really like Tony and unlike the supposed cancer Mrs. Edwards has cancer in the liver isn't as 'treatable.'

My family and I join the Bush's' in their prayers for Tony.

This is sad news indeed. :o(

Metastisized cancer is cancer that originated elsewhere (i.e. the colon) and has spread to the liver. It's still liver cancer but didn't originate there.

[Fawn]

Oh I hope he goes in remission! I really enjoy having this man around......we need him.

Bush spokesman's cancer has returned: White House

Prayers for him and his family.

Liver cancer is a primary malignancy (tumor) that started in the liver. Metastatic cancer is cancer that started someplace else (in this case the colon) and then traveled to another location, sometimes via the lymph system, sometimes via the bloodstream etc. Metastatic cancer is a huge problem because it means the cancer is no longer locally contained and could be in dozens or more places.

Certain members of the MSM are delighted with this development.

Who are these members? And where is there written or visual evidence to back up your assertion? Or are you only speculating, based on your knowledge of typical MSM actions?
