@8757kathy 18 is old, however, if all else is healthy ( chest xray, cbc/chem/t4, and abdominal ultrasound) , surgery may be an option if quality of life is not good with the tumor.

I have a female golden retriever 9 years old and I found two lumps under my dogs jaw one on each side about 3 inches long and 2 inches in diameter. Took her to my vet today and he found 2 golf ball size tumors one on each hind leg behind her hock. So then he said he wondered if she had the tumors on the points of the shoulders and sure enought she did. He said he was almost sure she had lymphoma cancer. But without a biopsy he couldnt be 100 % sure. What do you think I should do?

@markaxline Biopsy is good idea. Fna may be helpful and less invasive - see your vet.

I have a female cat named Ally who i found at my dads work, and so i have no idea how old she is or if she was fixed. But when i brought her home, she was a very hyper cat, loveing life any everything. She gets along very well with my 2 other dogs, and one night i let her sleep with us in my room on my chair. Well after that i notice she was limping. Now she's still eating and drinking, but then i found a lump on her bottem back leg.

My dog has two lipomas on his chest, and he is in no pain, not even if you touch them. But I have no money to get him surgery--there's no health insurance for dogs, on the slim chance that it could be cancer, or even if the surgery would help. But I still feel bad...it sucks, when you know you can't do anything, and why upset your old buddy more when he isn't even in pain? Damn.
