Very sad to hear about the prognosis. In addition to the spleen its spread to his backbone, reportedly the size of a football, and 2 more in his abdomen. He has anywhere from a week to a month to live. He will be sent back to his stall where he will live out the remainder of his days.

Northern Cal fans will always have pleasant memories of his short but brilliant career. I'm sure they will do right by him, and will not let him suffer once it advances. Although I saw him beat an overmatched field when I saw him run, it was still a thrill to watch him in action.

Hearing the latest news is a terrible way to start a weekend. My mother has dealt with cancer 3 times, twice with breast cancer, and has fought it off each time. My Grandfather was lost to cancer 7 years ago. I know first hand how tough it is to see loved ones and friends deal with this insidious disease. Rest comfortably friend, you will be remembered as a brave champion.
