Default Benign tumours in hamsters

Hello, I'm sorry if this has been posted before but I'm not sure if I can find it,

But my hamster Chippy has recently developed a benign tumour, I have taken him to the vet as as he's acting his normal self, moving around okay, eating and drinking and it doesn't cause any pain to touch (he didn't even bite or yell at the vet when she was poking him around) she says it's most likely benign, and to take him back if anything changes. He's nearly 2 now I just want to know if anyone has has experience with this as I know they're fairly common. But I haven't had a hamster with one before and wondered if there's anything I should look out for with him other than the obvious warning signs. But also how long he may live for as I want to hope for the best but prepare for the worst. Also he lives with his brother who's perfectly healthy but I'm worried what will happen when chippy goes... Anyone got any insight? Thank you
