Our cat Chester, will have completed 6 trips to the vets by the time they take his stitches out on his right back foot you can see on the slab in the picture 
He developed what I thought was a cyst type lump on his foot back in the summer no bigger than a pea! As time as gone on it's grown larger until one day it burst full of fluid.
Down the vets we went, given antibiotics £46, and told to come back a week later when the infection had reduced. Back to the vets, he said it was a tumorous lump, it was a choice to investigate £67 Biopsy, or cut it out straight away, I went for the cut out option. He is back home now, he hates his vets collar I have nick named his Easter bonnet
he only wears it at night so he doesn't pull his stitches out, an inch long scar! Because of where it is there is not much skin to sow together, so he musn't jump about. Back to the vets tomorrow to have a healing check, stitches out next week, and it will all round up to £300
Not having insurance anymore animals are a costly business, it makes ants look cheap ;D
