Unhappy

A couple of months ago our cat had a tumor on her back removed and it was found to be cancerous. The vet said he thought that he removed it all and had an 80% chance that he did and a 20% chance that he did not. He said it was an aggressive tumor once he got the pathology report back.

We decided we would take his odds, thinking they were pretty good odds in her favor.
She was terrified with the ordeal....going back and forth to the vets office etc. We decided that we would just keep her home and not ever take her back to the vets office again.

last time the skin above it opened and became an abcess and that is why we took her in, we thought it was just a fatty cyst. We were wrong.
He told us the next step would be to go to baton rouge 80 minute drive from here where the vet school was. He said there would be extensive surgery required ribs etc. And told him we did not want to go that route.

Unfortunately the tumor has come back.
WE don't know what to do.
Hattie is happy and playful doesn't appear to be in any pain.
The tumor keeps growing and we need to decide what to do from here on. Do we just wait until it breaks open again????
Maybe we should take her to a different vet?
sigh
