Hi, I just created this account and dont really know if it is the right place to ask for an advice on this matter but im really desperate. The situation is the following: about 1 year and a half ago I discovered a lump on my 14 years old cat. It is located on the chest really close to one of its breasts. By that time the lump diameter was less than 1cm. I took my cat to the vet and she said that it was probably malignant. I asked her if there was something that could be done and she said that in order to remove it she had to make sure there wasnt metastasise on the lungs. So I had it made a X-ray. The results were not good, its lungs "were not normal" but there was no sign of metastasise. Even with no signs of metastasise the vet advised me not to get it into surgery cause it could make things worse and that I should just let it go...So one year and a half later my cat is still alive and seems pretty much healthy but the diameter of the lump is now around 2cm and the breast kind of started to ooze fluid (although it doesnt look bad, only swelled). So right now I dont know what to do, should I take my cat to get him done another X-ray so that in case the results are the same as before that could mean that the issue it had on its lungs wasnt cause of metastasise, which would mean that the tumour could be remove by surgery? Do you think its right what the vet said about not doing surgery? I feel so bad for trusting her, im afraid i just could have lost too much time and now really theres nothing that can be done to cure my cat.
Any advice is welcome. Thanks.
