Dear Dr. O.,
I thought you might appreciate an update on my 12yr old Qtr/morgan gelding, with Lymphoma Cancer...With my vet, I started a treatment of Dexamethasone tablets (12) for 5 days and reducing dosage gradually over 5-6 wks. I started giving the tablets on May 23 (5 days ago) and the existing lumps, are almost gone!!! I am hopeful that I caught the cancer early enough. After the dexamethasone, what's next...what if the cancer returns?

Why don't we cross that bridge if we come to it. Congratulations on the response, do not be quick to stop.
