I was just wondering if anyone has had any experience with an older cat coming down with cancer and having to decide if surgery was a good option or letting the cat die naturally was the better way? I have a 15 year old cat who was recently diagnosed with a mast cell tumor in her spleen. The vet and oncologist told me they could remove her spleen, but there are lots of things that could go wrong in surgery due to her age and she also has early kidney disease. Without surgery, she might only last 3-6 more months, and with surgery, she might last another year. I really don't know what to do. The surgery and recovery will probably be painful and scary for my sweet cat, but I have no idea where the cancer will spread and how painful that will be either. So I'm looking for tips or advice from anyone who's been through it or has a thought on the subject. Thank you!
