Lindsey Vonn emotional: “My boy has cancer”
The last few weeks have been a rollercoaster ride of emotions for Lindsey Vonn. Now the 39-year-old American is addressing the public with a heartbreaking post. As the former ski queen announces, her dog Leo has been diagnosed with lymphatic cancer.
"My boy has cancer," writes Lindsey Vonn under snapshots showing her dog Leo. The two have been inseparable for eleven years, and now the devastating news came after their return from the Olympic Games.
Chemotherapy
"When I got home from Paris, I noticed some lumps that had formed around his lymph nodes and I immediately took him to the vet. Unfortunately, we received a diagnosis of lymphoma. Leo is already receiving chemotherapy and is responding well. He's a bit tired and doesn't know what's going on, but he's still a happy lad," says Vonn.
"Can't imagine life without him"
It's been "a tough few weeks", says the four-time overall World Cup winner, describing her emotional state. "Leo is my first dog, he's been with me for the last eleven years and I can't even begin to imagine life without him," emphasizes Vonn. "I will spend as much time with him as I can and support him with all his treatments over the coming months."
