I am completely heartbroken. I had to say goodbye to my 1 and 1/2 year old cat, Badger, this morning.
Less than 2 weeks ago, I noticed he was losing weight. I took him in and the vet felt something in his stomach. He did an exploratory surgery and found a 4 inch tumor blocking his small intestine. The vet cut out the tumor and sent it in to pathology to see if it was benign or malignant.
He seemed to get better the first couple of days after surgery but then he began to get frail. This morning, his stomach seemed bloated and I called the vet to see if I could bring him in. The vet got on the phone and he just received the pathology report. It wasn't good. My poor boy had cancer of the lymph nodes and was in extreme pain. I had to make the difficult trip to the vet and say goodbye.
I am so hurt. This is so unfair that he was so young. He was the best cat ever and I am going to miss him.

Many many warm hugs to you.
It's just so unfair sometimes, but, having had a cat suffer with FIP, I can say that I'm so happy poor Badger didn't suffer for too long. Be good to yourself. 
RIP Badger
Oh, NOOO...that is too young, so cruel for dear Badger. I lost my first JC to throat cancer and my dog Tasha to lymphatic cancer and reading your post just reached into my heart....oh, the waiting, the hoping, the dreading.....the deciding, the inner struggle, summoning the courage to have love enough to make the right decision....and then....
