Snowman In To Remove Abdomenial Growth

The AP wire reported today that White House Press Secretary Tony Snow will undergo surgery Monday to remove a growth in his lower abdomen. Two years ago Snow had his colon removed after he was diagnosed with cancer. Snow said that the procedure was being done "out of an aggressive sense of caution".

He indicated that test since the growth was discovered have been negative. Mr Snow's announcement came a day after Elizabeth Edwards reported that her cancer had returned.

It goes without saying that we all wish Snow and Edwards well.
