Tony Snow Has Colon Cancer
Just heard the news on Fox Special Report (via TiVo delay) that former Fox News Sunday anchor Tony Snow has been diagosed with colon cancer. Apparently, Snow made the announcement on his radio show earlier today. He’s scheduled for surgery and the prognosis for a full recovery is reportedly good.
From Snow’s show website:
Tony revealed that his “number one job right now is fighting and beating cancer.” He says that the prognosis is “good,” but that his mother died of cancer when she was 38 and he’s not taking any chances.
A javascript link to the audio is here.
My best wishes go to Snow and his family.

Dear Tony,
I just want you to know that I went to Mass this morning and prayed for your recovery. You will be in my prayers until you are well again. I have always admired the person you are as I hear you on radio and TV. I consider you one of God’s finest examples of homo sapiens. Please get well and continue your work in the media. That is the best way you can share your gifts with so many.
Dear Tony:

You have been one of my favorites on KVI, Seattle.
I pray for your quick recovery. But I want to share the following info with you. My friend had a tumor the size of a small grapefruit growing in her abdomen. She used a device from Japan and all she did was to point 2 rods that emit healing energy on it for about 2 months 1 hour a day. after 2 months, she is now tumor free. Perhaps, after your surgery, this may be something to think about.
We are looking forward to a speedy comeback.
Dear Tony,
All of your fans in The Villages of Florida are praying for your speedy recovery. We admire you not only for your many talents, but mostly for your honesty and integrity. Looking forward to seeing you back in The Villages where you will be welcomed warmly.

You are in our prayers and in my personal prayers. I feel like everything is in God’s hands and I trust him for the right outcome.
Best Wishes,

Dear Tony,
I am sorry to here this sad news. My close friend is a cancer survivor. She had very poor prognosies. Please make shure that you will get flax seed every day. It must be freshly ground (otherwise it will oxidize and loose its potency). Take heap tablespoon of flax seed, grind them in the coffee maker first thing in the morning and mix with plenty of water. Do the the same in the evening. Flax seed contains omega3 and lignans (very powerfull antioxidant). Also eat a lot of (5-10) dried plums daily (onre of the strongest antioxidant). Rember cancer was caused by some condition. You can remove the tumor but you must to remove the cause.
Good luck
Tony, I just heard at 910pm on 3/2 that you had surgery. Very glad to hear surgery was a success. Man, get on the Ambrotose along with whatever you MD prescribes. It works.
Mike
Tony,
Many prayers and much love to you and yours along with wishes and a vision for your complete recovery. We miss You. Now get back to work… We want to see your face again…
