I was a student at Auburn University when they brought the great Bold Ruler to the vet school for cobalt treatments. There was a lot about him in the school paper. He had a nasal tumor just below the brain pan if I remember correctly. The treatments shrunk the tumor sufficiently to get him another stallion season before the cancer took over and he was humanely put down.
