@Massmomm, I’m sorry you didn’t get better news. It’s so hard.

I do have a positive cat jaw tumor experience, though. My cat had a tumor on her jaw when she was just 5. The vet was pretty pessimistic and everything I read online sounded dire. For some reason (can’t remember what), the vet didn’t do a biopsy, but went straight to surgery. Amazingly, the tumor was benign. The surgery was still $1,500+ and with the pet insurance I had then, it would have been covered if she was diagnosed with cancer. But since she was OK, I had to pay.

My kitty turns 16 next month.
