I'm sorry Jackie Boy has cancer! If you don't want to do chemo, you can see about doing another surgery to remove as much of the regrowth as possible. Other than that, I would keep him as comfortable as possible and keep a close eye on his quality of life. Once his quality of life is low, letting him go is the best option. I'm sorry.
