Kitten with lump on head

So worried about my lovely little kitten, a lump appeared on his head early last week, which just looked like a little spot at first but it grew quickly and by the end of the week was about the size of a large pea and looked a bit sore. There was also a second growth appearing next to it. We took him in to the vet yesterday - she was flummoxed and said the only way to find out what it is is to do a biopsy, so tomorrow he is going in for a biopsy under ga.Sad I'm so shocked - I fully expected her to just brush it off as nothing, but she mentioned feline tuberculosis and cancer among other possibilities (she was really nice about it but I think she felt she had to mention all the possibilities as she said lumps like this are so unusual.) I've now convinced myself he has something horrible and feel so upset about it. We've only had him for 2 1/2 weeks but we all love him so much already, I can't bear to think of something being seriously wrong with him.

Does anyone have any experience of lumps like this? He is otherwise totally healthy, eating well and very active so hopefully that means it can't be anything too awful? I'm dreading tomorrow. Sad

That sounds like an excellent outcome: I really REALLY hope that this was a random isolated thing & Caspar can get on with his pirating & buckling of swash (etc) without any health troubles Smile
