Hi Kim,

I am sorry to hear about your horse. I haven't had any experience with rectal cancer but the horse my daughter learned to ride on had cancer of the penis. He had it for many years and it was managed by the vet, kept very clean etc. He was put down last year at age 43 years. Just wanted to give you a positive story that in some cases cancer can be left alone and not cause too much of an issue. I have been told that about 90% of grey horses will get cancer at some point. We have a grey palouse who has eye problems and is almost completely blind now. She is 32 this year so she has had a good innings!

Good luck xxxx
