Greg,

I've lost part of the thread here, but our thoughts are with you.

If it's truly a mast cell tumor, rather than just a lipoma -- our
"little one" had one of those on her toe. Depending upon where the lump
really is, the surgery still might be a viable alternative. She had to
have her toe removed, but that was 8 years ago -- she's never missed it.

Our "big guy" had cancer in one kidney; we thought long and hard, and
maded the decision to have it removed (the other looked clear from the
x-rays). The nut came home from the vet, with a belly wrap, wandered
through the house, then promptly grabbed a sock out of the hamper that
was waiting to go downstairs! He was with us for another 18 months,
before the cancer came back elsewhere ...

Well, this is all armchair quarterbacking; only you know the whole
situation.

Take care, give her love, and may things go well for you all.
