That's a good bias to have. Situations are always different, and not only the cost or ability to catch things in time, but also the consideration of the quality of life if treatment is pursued. We had a dog and later a cat that both got diagnosed with kidney disease of some sort, both were very sudden and terrible to see an active pet turn lethargic and waste away in days or weeks. We could have thrown money at it and bought some time, but they would have been miserable with the needed operations and regular dialysis to keep them alive. The choice there was easy.
Glad to see you're on the other side of that with something controllable and a happy companion.
