President Bush's Polyps Benign
Email
ShareJuly 23, 2007 12:58 PM
ABC News' Martha Raddatz reports: Five small polyps, or growths removed from President Bush's colon were benign, or non-cancerous, White House Press Secretary Tony Snow told reporters Monday.
"The president is in good health, there's no reason for alarm," said Snow, who himself beat colon cancer but was diagnosed in March with a reoccurrence of cancer that has attached to his liver.
Snow said the President will have a follow-up colonoscopy in three years, rather than waiting the usual five years, because polyps were discovered.
Bush, 61, had polyps removed during previous tests in 1998 and 1999. However a 2002 colonoscopy revealed no polyps.
The President underwent a colonoscopy at the Camp David presidential retreat on Saturday and was given anesthesia. He voluntarily transferred power to Vice President Dick Cheney for over two hours.

Good! Now all we have to do is wait until 2009 to get rid of America's most malignant polyp.

Let' see libs, you prayed Tony Snow's cancer would come back, you hope Cheney's heart will explode, now you're wishing ill health upon our President. Very immature. Very class-less. Very un-intellectual. Seriously, grow up.

Okay I did'nt mean every G.O.P. member there are some I do like. Cancer is nothing to joke about. And i wouln't want anyone to die of it. I hope and pray that the people that lose there insurance can afford to fight any form of sickness. I for one donot have health insur.lost it. And i have to wait until next year to get some. Thanks greg boone

Greg, without Republicans there wouldn't be any men to reproduce.

Lost your health insurance? Perhaps you could relocate to Cuba. I hear the health care there is free. The catch is it's low quality, you wait for years to get treatment (unless you're a tourist or one of Castro's Communist cronies), and you give up a host of freedoms and rights such as speech, press, etc. etc. A True socialist paradise envied by American liberals everywhere.
