Or it might just be one of those awful things that happens for no discernible reason. Cancer is so rare in horses that I would think if there were an external cause from something fairly common like pesticides or drugs that we would see a higher incidence of it. But who knows? It's a really confounding disease. I think we may eventually be able to manage it more consistently, but I don't think we'll ever really cure it.
Foggy, I hope they let you stuff yourself full of peppermints and carrots over the next weeks. You deserve them.
