How healthy is he, aside from the tumor?  If he seems pretty healthy I would try to 
get the surgery done, even though he is 3 1/2.  Maybe you can talk the vet into
it, or find another vet.  If his general health seems to be going downhill, though, 
then I would go ahead and have him put to sleep.  Gee seems like your luck isn't
all that great lately - I know how you feel, I had several go in a relatively short 
period of time.  It's hard. :(
