I have a happy result to share today.

My radiation oncologist has ordered new scans as I'm approaching my 4-year anniversary with stage-4 PCa. I had the bone scan this morning, and the result popped online this afternoon. It's entirely negative: there is no trace left of my spinal lesion from 2021, and nothing else that even hints at new metastases. 🎉

Interesting, the scan did detect the two ribs that I bruised in a fall last year (but the person reviewing the scan correctly concluded that the radioactive uptake was from trauma rather than cancer, even though I hadn't mentioned the injury).
