Tumors grow very rapidly in hamsters. I found a tumor in my one-year old dwarf hamster the size of a pea three days ago, and it had doubled in size in one day. She just had the tumor removed today and she is doing fine now. I would suggest getting the tumor removed if money isn't too tight and you really love your hamster - most vets have cheaper pocket pet rates, so the total vet bill might be between $150 & $200, much less than a cat or dog.
Not long.
I am VERY sorry for anyone frantically searching for the answer to this...but the cold truth is: Go find a shovel and a nice box to bury him/her in. :( For future hamsters, be sure to keep them out of SAWDUST. You would think wood shavings and wood dust are the same but they ARE NOT. Sawdust will give a hamster a tumor in as soon as the same day. I did not know this in time, and my sweet baby (Oreo) died at 1 year from getting a tumor from sawdust from the wood floor we were having re-done. :(

How do you tell if your hamster has a stomach tumor?
If your hamster has cancer or a sickness it will usually sleep most of the night when it should be awake. It might stop eating as much as it used too and would not look very good. My first hamster got very sick and i think it might have been some sort of cancer. To prevent sickness make sure you feed your hammy lots of fruits and veggies. Take them out to play every night and never interrupt its sleep or bother it when it is grooming. Clean your hammy's cage once or twice a week (depending on how many you have.) Give it fresh water once, twice or three times a week.
