Usually with lymphomas, involvement is sytemic. If the spleen is removed as well as the tumor on it, performance is greatly diminished . If the cancer has spread elsewhere, the horse's future may be compromised . The surgery in itself is rare, so more than likely your trainer will not be much help here . Aleo is currently searching for a really good surgeon . This is serious . Any thoughts of a return to racing are not .
