Our cat was recently diagnosed with a malignant tumor, and the prognosis is really poor. Even with agressive treatment, which entails surgery and radiation, she would probably only live an extra eight months or so. It's been tough, but we have decided not to put her through the pain of the treatment - not that we could afford it anyway. The really crappy part is that we just had to have our other cat put to sleep in September when he developed cancer. He was so bad by the time they found the cancer that we had to have him put down the very next day. Although I am heartbroken that we will be losing another sweet kitty, I am so thankful that we have a chance to spend time with her and give her extra love. So far, she doesn't even seem to notice the tumor even though it's continuing to grow. I am keeping my fingers crossed that she won't suffer and we will know when it's time to let her go. :'(
