My older cat has a bloody, black mass on her ear. Is it cancer?

Question

I'm pretty sure my cat has cancer on the ears. First started as black marks on ears, kinda looked burnt around tip of ears. Then I'd notice small pieces of her ear missing, nothing gruesome. This was like this a few years. Recently I noticed a larger reddish pinkish mass inside her ear. And these last few days the reddish mass or whatever has turned black, a bit bloody, I think. She's an older, outside cat. I'm for sure she hasn't been in a fight. I'm poor. What's the cheapest way to treat her? Pet's info: Cat | Siamese | Female | 2 lbs

Complete surgical removal of the mass and the remnant of ear tissue is probably the best and most effective way to treat it. I would recommend to discuss it with your vet as the best treatment option should consider her full clinical status (basically other problems if present).
