Took my dog to the vet he has a massive tumor on his spleen and he's end stage renal failure. he's 11 years old we took him home and chose not to intervene. how much time does he have?

I'm so sorry about Murphy! The problem with tumors on the spleen is that they can rupture at any time, and it's hard to predict how long he will have. I would enjoy every day you have with him in case it's his last. Again, I'm sorry.
