a tumor is normal in old hamsters. it won't die immediately. it still able to eat, sleep and play like any other hamsters.
take him to a vet is a wise decision. but for an old hamster, surgery is doing him no good then harm. surgery on old hamsters might be a risk. most probably your vet couldn't do anything. just make sure you take good care of him and watch his diet.

Rodents easily get tumors/cancer. If he isn't hurting, then he's OK, you can all vet, but I am not sure what they can do for a hamster. If he starts trembling or stops eating, he is probably in pain and should be looked at by vet and or euthanized.

concept i could throw my hat interior the hoop by asserting, the clarification they spend plenty on plastic surgical treatment is the medical doctors value way too plenty, and that they does not want plastic surgical treatment if society wasn't so judgmental on how human beings look. We as a society have created this difficulty alongside with many others, and once you communicate approximately how plenty you have given and boast approximately it, you have merely have been given your reward as Christianity teaches, so no i does not persist with on your footsteps, that's sin in accordance to the Bible. On a actuality sense i will tell if the prosperous or nicely to do helped the adverse and needy, we could all merely be mediocre, and that's extremely like communism, something i'm to no longer mad approximately, yet wait you probably did no longer say the adverse could would desire to artwork we could merely supply it to them and help them out. i think of we already do this, its talked approximately as social assistance and our taxes conceal that value alongside with generating jobs for social workers. So we are already giving to the adverse, we merely at the instant are not boasting on the subject of the solid we are doing. genuine charity comes from the middle and is no longer measured by the media and what others think of, that's comprehensive in secret so which you do no longer humiliate the needy or crown the giver.

yes, that's likely - but this isn't out of the ordinary for small pets - it's likely benign and won't effect it's longevity

Sounds like cancer. Please seek help from your vet. They are the only ones who can tell you what it is and what your options are.
