So far there has been no pain whatsoever.  I pray this continues. I just retired last month so I can now be with him full time. 
I firmly believe that God answers our prayers.  When he was diagnoised with Alzherimer's in 2004 I prayed that he would be able to stay alone until I was old enough to retire. I also prayed that he would pass from anything other than Alzheimer's. He was diagnoised with the facial tumor in July, I turnned 62 in Aug.  So I feel both of my prayers were answered. We have Hospice involved.  I am wondering about his longevity without treatment.  The Dr said he would be very surprised if he was here at the one year mark and most likely 3 to 6 months.  It has been three months and I think he will be here for quite some time yet. 
Thank you for a quick reply to my post. 
  I wish the best for you.
