Yeah, Tsongas actually passed away around Clinton's second nomination.
If he had won in '92 he wouldn't have lasted a full term.
I said in my previous post that she discontinued the treatment but actually she finished that trial and did not elect to go into the next one.
Very healthy was the key!
Fighting Cancer is a very stressful job. I cant make the comparison between the Press Sec. and cancer, but take it from me; when you are facing the unknown and the sword of Damocles hanging over you, you have stress.
We all deal with stress differently. I choose to set it aside and the only worry is if I prepared enough for my family to carry on and thrive after I die. I just had a violent allergic reaction to one of my Cancer Medications and I went into anaphylactic shock where EMS/911 had to be called. This was in the Doctors office and four nurses and a Doctor were all frantically trying to save my life. I had Zero air flow and a Blood Pressure of 50/48. According to all involved, they almost lost me.
I spent 2 hours in the ER of our Hospital and walked out and back into the Doctors office to recover my coat. I went to work the next day and did my normal 12 hours. The message of this is that I do not fear what can happen. Id rather dwell on fighting the little speed bump called cancer than dwelling on my plight in life. I consider myself a very fortunate person. I have family and friends who love me, I have a God who is not ready for me yet, I have hope for a LONG battle with this disease and I have a faith that God has put me on this earth to accomplish some jobs for Him. I firmly believe that He isnt done with me yet. If this cancer is the price I pay for being around to do His work, I am a very rich man.
To all that have sent me their prayers and good wishes:
I wish you wonderful things in very large portions for a very long time. I will pass the prayers and good wishes along to the Big Guy in the sky and ask Him to help Tony find the same peace I am finding.
Make sure you tell someone today how special they are to you and how much you love them.
Tom
You're in my prayers good sir. You're going to beat it, again. I just know it....
I'll drink to that!
Lord Jesus we pray for your healing touch on Tony. We pray that you will give him your strength and courage. Lord we pray that you will give his family comfort and peace during this time.
In Jesus' Holy Name,
Amen
Oh, crap. This is the same thing that happened to the late Mr. Redhead. Tony and his family are at the top of my prayer list for now.
May God rest His healing hand on you and drive the cancer back into remission.
May the Good Lord watch over him and his family. I wish him a speedy and full recovery.
Sad news. God Bless Tony.
Prayers for you, too.
Dear Lord,
Please Embrace Tony ,Your wise and gentle son,in Your Bright White Light of Grace and Wellness,so he will lead a long,productive and Healthy life.Thank You Lord,Amen.
Big big Prayers going up for you Tony , Wife and three Children .
My prayers for you too,my brother his colon cancer..May the Dear Lord Embrace you in His Bright White Light of Grace and Wellness so you will lead a Long and Healthy life,Always Thanking Our Lord for His Glorious Graces Amen.
Off the bat, I have to say that as a liberal, I may not agree with everything that you guys say most of the time.
However, my thoughts and prayers are now with Tony Snow. I wish all the best for him and his family, just as I have wished all the best for Elizabeth Edwards and his family. To do any less would be inhuman and soulless of me.
This disease reaches across the aisle, as it is a tragedy when anyone is afflicted with it, especially after previous occurrences. Having two family members that have died of cancer helps me identify with, and pray for, Tony and Elizabeth and anyone else suffering from it.
