[RC] Any Other Hematoma Sufferers Here? - Michael Lewis

Many of you may have seen my previous post here regarding the trouble my mare is having with what appears to be a recurring hematoma, following expensive invasive surgery in December to remove the mass.  Curious to know others' experiences.  I'm torn between euthanizing the horse, finding a home for her (a very long shot), or trying to treat her and compete her if I can afford her board bill after paying the treatment fees each month.
 
Have not had any nibblers for taking the horse off my hands.
 
What can I expect if I elect to treat?  How expensive has it been for others, and what is the prognosis as far as continued usefulness for Endurance?  This horse walks on water, and the hope is that she will continue to be able to compete (again, coming down to the cost issue!)
 
 
Thank you,
 
Michael
