Thank you, Doane, for sharing this tidbit and maybe easing our pain a little.

Thanks for posting. Neil was such a classy person. It’s good to know he didn’t suffer to much. I’m sure he passed knowing how many people loved him. I hope I’m as fortunate.

I'm glad I stopped in long enough to read this. It gives some solace at time of great sadness and loss.

Neil’s personality is such where he would never tell anyone he was in pain even if he was. It’s one of the many characteristics that make him such an admirable man. This isn’t to say he was or wasn’t in pain. He just despised the idea of anyone worrying about him. He never wanted to be a burden to anyone: (which is what makes cancer such a cruel fate, as it’s a disease that affects far too many in a horrible manner). I’m sure Neil hated that.

True, though I can believe that he wasn't in significant pain. At this point, I'll use free will and choose to believe that he wasn't in pain.

When Gord Downie passed away there was a neurosurgeon on the CBC talking about Glioblastoma tumours and he said the only good thing about the grim prognosis is, at the end, there is no pain.
