If you know anything about his family history, Tony’s mother died from the very same aggressive form of colon cancer!

It’s hereditary...Those Snow childeren have those genes!

There's hope for Tony's children.

My cousins husband recently died from the very same rare cancer as Tony did. His mother succumbed to it as well. The cancer began in his appendix and discovered when he had an appendectomy.

His teenage son will be tested for the "gene" and if it shows up, he will have his appendix removed.

Otherwide, by the time this cancer is detected - it has already taken an aggressive course. Bummer.

Did not know his mother died of the same thing. Wow. How frightening that must be for Tony’s wife worrying about her children. God bless them all.
