Our 19-year-old cat was diagnosed with kidney cancer. The vet did an
ultrasound and had a specialist look at it also. He says that surgery
won't help, and there really isn't anything they can do. They did not
do a biopsy because of the cat's age, but they still are quite certain
of the diagnosis.

Our cat is still doing okay, especially after he gets a cortizone
injection every two weeks or so to reduce the kidney swelling.
However, he is becoming more tired, and spends most of his time
sleeping or resting in a corner. He does emerge for petting and the
usual eating, drinking, litter box use.

We hate to see him wasting away without at least trying something to
help him. Does anyone have any advice or suggestions? Thanks.

kidney cancer treatments are tailored to help a patient deal with the different problems during and after treatment such as stress, pain, emotional instability etc.

He's 19 years old, which is several years beyond the 'average' life span
for a cat. All you can do is spoil him with his favorite food(S), and
make sure he's not in any pain. Let him eat tuna and sardines if he
likes it. It sure can't hurt him now.

Plan on euthanasia, before too long, and be thankful for the time he has
left.
