I’m trying to find a short story about a guy who has a brain tumor as a kid, receives a high-tech immunological treatment which cures his cancer but turns out to destroy his ability to experience pleasure, and ends up being able to configure his own preferences. Written by a dude, no idea who, probably pretty recently. Help?

You may be thinking of “Reasons to be Cheerful”, by Greg Egan; its publication history is listed on Egan’s website.
Thanks! That’s the one.
