CBNNews.com - WASHINGTON - White House press Secretary Tony Snow says he has grown closer to God and his family because of his battles with cancer.

According to The Charlotte Observer, Snow said, "I am actually enjoying everything more than I ever have…God hasn't promised us tomorrow, but he has promised us eternity."

Snow, 51, returned to work Monday after being on medical leave for a little more than a month. In March he underwent exploratory surgery.

Doctors found a cancerous growth in his stomach that had spread to his liver.

"I've recovered from the surgery, more or less," Snow said in a CNN interview. "I'll start doing chemo on Friday. We'll do it every other week for four months."

Once a month, Snow said, "We'll do a maintenance chemo just to make sure we've got the thing knocked out and put in remission."

In 2005, Snow had his colon removed after being diagnosed with colon cancer.

Snow is married. He has three children, 10, 11 and 14.
