ASHLAND, Ohio (AP) - Former White House press secretary Tony Snow, diagnosed with cancer three years ago, canceled a speaking appearance at Ohio's Ashland University because of an unspecified illness, the university announced Wednesday.

Tony Snow...
If you are out there, then you know ..that its sometimes in suffering that we draw closest to our Lord. I’m sure you are at peace and are ready for whatever direction the Lord has for you. I’m sure everyone is hoping that you pull through, and thats natural, but if you don’t, I’m confident that God has a purpose for what you are going through and for calling you home early. We don’t really know exactly what its going to be like to crossover, but I’m sure its just a continuation of the Great Adventure that he has for us. So if His will is for you to stay and your situation to continue to draw others to Him , or if he urgently wants your services in the great beyond, it’s all in His will.
I’m in the same boat as you. Just diagnosed with Colon Cancer with Liver mets in March. Already seen the many blessings that flow. Already experiencing the flow of love and good will in others around me. Its really harder in many ways on our loved ones then it is on us, and I’m sure you already know that.
Anyway...God Bless you and your family and those going through this with you. I’ll pray for your loved ones..you pray for mine, that God will work His will for them through this.
God Bless
You have a most wonderful attitude about your diagnosis, not easily arrived at I’m sure. God bless you and the Peace of the Lord be with you.
I couldn’t agree more about Schwarzeneger’s attitude. Wonderful! Faith is everything, friends, through good or ill...
Thanks so much for your kind thoughts regarding my latest unpleasantness. As often happens, reports of my imminent demise are greatly exaggerated. I’ve been fighting a bowel obstruction for the last month, and won’t travel until we get it fixed. Hence, the speech cancellations.
We’ve embarked on a pretty aggressive course of treatment, and I’m on the mend. As for cancer, all the signs are good: Treatments are working, and genetic tests indicate that a new course of treatment has a good chance of real success.
So thanks, as always, for the thoughts and prayers — and continue sharing them with each other for others in need (like Jim Rob). I can’t tell you what a source of strength and reassurance you are.
Glad to see that you are doing okay! I had a feeling you might still be fighting that issue. I sure hope you feel better soon and are out and about again. Thanks Tony and Schwarzeneger for showing us that all things are possible through faith and the love of the Lord. You guys are an inspiration to many of us in learning how to face life’s challenges with true grace and strength.
Jumping up and down for happy!!! Oh we of little faith should have known better:) So lovely to hear from you, Mr. Snow, (we love you, m'wah!) and I know some FReepers who would love to meet you.
Whoever has the Snowflake list, please ping to post #103!!!
Keep on keepin' on, Snow-Man!!!
Thank you, Dita....and thank you, Tony, for letting us know how you are. As you know, you have many fans who worry when we don’t see or hear from you for a time.
I hope you are still planning to come out to West Texas. I can hardly wait for that! But only if you are feeling well enough for it!

Thank you so much for the ping, La Enchiladita! I’ve been very worried about Tony... glad to hear the good news from the Snow-Man himself! :o)
You’re a great man Tony. Glad to hear the cancer is under control. Take Care, and I hope the bowel obstruction (eew) is getting better.
I'm so happy to see you posting! Now, You get your plumbing fixed while we keep praying for you !
BTW, I hope your Doctor does not look like this! :0)
Good news post from Tony Snow in #103!
LOL!
Holding the best of all possible thoughts for our friends with these special pressures. Toward that end I add that a recent PET scan shows the brains of the operation here at home does not have metastasis to the bones, but rather, is suffering from a "rare" side effect of chemo drug number three (or four), demonstrating at least one case of informed intuititon trumping the trained oncologist's diagnosis.You all continue to shine Dalai Lama-like happy light despite seeming impenetrable clouds.
Faith is indeed everything, or at least the light matter making up the nine percent of physics not accountable through science.
We have always admired and loved you here at FR, Tony.
All prayers and good wishes are with you.
Prayers for you too FRiend!
Thanks for the ping. Wonderful to see the head Snowman back and posting.
A very good one to bring out. Also a ‘Helen’ one somewhere in the archives..
Thanks for the encouraging update!
You and your family are in my prayers.
