My other cat developed this huge lump on his head Sunday. I took him to the vet today and she did a biopsy that showed maybe infection/maybe cancer. She did not recommend doing vaccines because he may not need them (they would be so he'd be safe when I get kitten which of course I won't do if he is dying). If it is cancer it is aggressive. She seemed hopeful that it is infection but cancer is a very real possibility.

He had an antibiotic shot. If it shrinks it is infection. If it grows or doesn't change it is cancer and we'll have to discuss next steps, whether surgery will help or not. I'll know within 2 weeks.

I'm just numb. I can't cope with losing 2 so close together. I can't even cope with the idea of it.
