Well we finally got the results back from the vets. (why do vets tell you they'll call as soon as the results are back then leave it another 2 days??).
For those of you that haven't read previous post here's link:

Basically, they all came back clear. Dont know if this is good or not. But it does mean that she's got to have more tests.
He's told me to starve her Wed night and he'll be down at 9 on Thurs to take some blood. Then when those results are back it's time for scans I think.
He did gave me the option of just drying her up and see what happens. This has got to be done agressively apparently, with her taken away to somewhere with no horses to call to her, pergolide injections and very limited feed and water. If anyone has any experince of drying mares up like this I'd be greatful for any advice/ feedback.
I dont really want to 'just dry her up' as now he's suggested the idea of this tumour, I need to know. He wan't surprised when I said do the tests, just thought he'd give me the cheaper option!! Thank goodness for insurance.
So as I say only a little update, not really much has changed. Josie herself is fine, and is being impecably behaved, as usual. She'll be in season on Monday, so we'll see what that brings.
I'll let you know what the next lot of tests show xxx
