My beloved 13 year old cat has been diagnosed with a fibrosarcoma on the flank closed to his back bone. The vet said that he needed a surgery to remove it. It is scheduled next Monday. When I did research on fibrosarcoma, it says that it will likely grow back within a year in most cases. I am really worried about his age for the surgery. I heard that older cats don't do very well on major surgeries. I don't want him to suffer at this age. However, if I pass on the surgery, the lump will probably kill him eventually. In addition, he also has feline herpes virus, which can be triggered by stress etc. What do you think I should do? Go ahead with the surgery or let nature takes its course and just enjoy the rest of the time he has left with me.

I'd also like to know if anyone of you who was in a similar situation before.
