My mouse has a large tumor. How can I provide comfort in her final days?

Question

I bought a baby female mouse that was blind in her right eye, now a year later she has a tumor the width & length of a inch under her right paw and stretches across her chest. I can see the tumor is a dark purple color almost black & it showed up within the past week. She had been sleeping a lot, but it seems she can walk around okay. I know i won't be able to afford a tumor removal & so until she dies is there anything I can do to slow the growth the tumor or any medicine to give her for pain?

Unfortunately there is nothing you can do to help her with this condition, as you mentioned tumor removal might be the only option although i am not sure it would be indicated in her current condition, just keep her comfortable and when she seems to be deteriorating , take her to the vet for euthanasia.
