None really. The vet can give medication to make life more comfortable but once it's got past a certain stage then the end is inevitable. Trouble is that the symptoms aren't that obvious until the point of no return.

I just saw a segment on the morning news today on this. They had 2 dogs and a cat on the show that were all being treated for tumors or who had survived tumors. They interviewed a vet who said that there are successful treatment options available. See an experienced and reputable vet. Good luck.

Hi, Many years ago i had a cat that had a tumour in his thyroid, the vet had never done this surgery but he operated anyway to try to save his life. Squeak was 11 when he was operated on he only died of old age at 17yrs. I had another cat last year that had cancer on his liver, he was very ill, the vet operated on him they didn't expect him to live but he did, unfortunately he only lived for 10weeks after his op. as the cancer came back, but at least we had 10 extra weeks with him, we didn't even know he had cancer he hid it very well. We got a shock when the prognosis came through. So it's swings and roundabouts it all depends on how severe the tumour is. Good Luck, i really hope your cat is feeling better soon.

Depends what sort of tumours. I had a number of cats with tumours on their ears and they had to be cut out. If the tumour can be cut out then that should solve it, but as noted above talk to a vet. I find most of the time the vet will say its not worth it and the cat will have a miserable existence after the surgery. Plus the cost is usually extortionately high, but for a cat its usually worth it...

to be honist it depends on what money you have and how long you are willing to let the cat suffer they offer chemo etc and they can remove tumors in cats but most vets would recomend the best option and put them 2 sleep
