Sabbath Blogging: Tony Snow on Surviving Cancer
Joe Gandalman on Tony Snow's class. I had no idea Tony Snow was a cancer survivor. I also had no idea that he will go in for surgery tomorrow to have a growth removed. We wish Tony Snow the best and a quick recovery.

I noticed Joe didn't mention it in his post, but he just found out that his father has terminal lung cancer. Send him your prayers.

I feel especially indebted to Tony Snow because of his unqualified condemnation of the persecution of religious minorities in Iran.
Get well soon Tony; we need you.

Tony Snow is handling his cancer problems with class, publicly. To call him a cancer survivor, much like the singer Ms. Crow does for herself, seems to me to go counter to what the American Cancer Society deems appropiate. That is, one might consider himself/herself a cancer survivor after five years of not showing any signs of cancer. These people go out soon after receiving medical treatment and say they are a survivor: I think this is more wishfull thinking than reality. I understand this, but to claim such may be foolish. That is not to say I do not wish for the best for these people as they fight this deadly disease. We all wish for the chance to pick when we will die, only nature may have other plans, such as fate. I guess each must find a way to confront death when it enters one's life. Maybe they should say; "So far, I am a cancer survivor."
