An old high school friend recently informed me that he?s been dealing with metastatic brain cancer for the past two years. He?s had two surgeries to remove tumors. Thus far, he says he?s lost sensation in one hand, and can get dizzy a lot, but that?s it. I know little about cancer, so was surprised to hear him say he?s had no pain. He?s still as sharp and witty as ever. Is this typical? I?d always thought metastatic cancer was a terrible and quick death sentence.

There are no pain nerves in the brain, so it is easier to live with.
