Question

I have   an 18 year old male cat.   He was diagnosed with beginning stages of kidney decease. We managed to get that under control with meds and special food. He has been loosing a lot of weight and I noticed he had blood in his urine couple of months ago. They gave him some antibiotics and since it was not going away they did and ultrasound. After many many test they found some tumors and they did a biopsy. He was diagnosed with reactive follicle....
They did not find cancer however there is a possibility. They are treating him with heavy doses of prednisone. His appetite is coming back but he is down to 7 lbs from 18 lbs. He is still have blood in his urine. The vet said the tumors were shrinking. After thousands of dollars on tests and meds I still don''t feel he is getting better. Am I being unrealistic trying to keep him alive? I do not want to torture him.   By the way he is being hydrated by me. I would pay whatever it takes to make him well. I''m just not sure that im doing the right thing.

Thanks
