Dante's been developing a lump over the past months. I finally took him to the vet. She didn't find any pus or liquid to show it's a cyst, but we're going to do a steroid/antibiotic for a couple of weeks to see if it goes down. If not, then it's probably cancer and otherwise untreatable, because it's a bitch to root out and anything left will just grow back.
I'm glad she didn't pressure me into aggressive treatment. He's 13 and otherwise in decent shape (albeit a heavy kitty at 24.8 lbs), but ....I don't have the finances or the emotions necessary for it. Sure as hell, kittyboy would be upset. It was bad enough getting him to the vet in the first place...
