The White House press office has confirmed that top Bush administration spokesman Tony Snow will return to work next Monday.

Mr. Snow's colon cancer was found late last month to have returned and attached itself to his liver. Mr. Snow underwent surgery to remove as much cancer as possible, and will continue to receive regular treatment.

But one source said the cancer attached itself to the outside of his liver but has not penetrated the liver, and that Mr. Snow will not have to undergo the most debilitating forms of chemotherapy.
