That is very promising. The bone scan didn’t come back great today. We find out the grading later this week so that will let us know how bad it really is.

The worst period for me was after I saw the bone scan and had all kinds of shite lit up. Both knees, both shoulders, my sternum, and most disturbingly, a rather significant spot on my forehead. To a much lesser degree, my pelvic girdle, which was of concern, to say the least.
My brother, an MD, told me not to worry because a bone scan is a blunt instrument. I don't think either one of us really believed what he was saying, but it got me through the next couple of weeks until I had MRI and CT scans. Needless to say, I was a nervous wreck.
After my cancer was graded/staged, it was actually easier for me. I knew what I was dealing with and able to move forward with a course of treatment.

I feel concerned for everyone here who has this disease and will pray for you. My dad had prostate cancer, so I am a risk. My PSA goes up and down, often within a week or two, so I have the test run often and try not to think too much about it. The results are what they are. I have good doctors who care and remain schooled in the latest treatments and concerns.
When my dad got his bad news, they told him something else would likely kill him. Knowing this he opted for the surgical removal of his prostate.
He died of Dementia. Most of the time I wish he had let the cancer kill him. I would choose prostate cancer over dementia any day, but that is me.
Off topic. I have a good friend who is an internist. He told me a year or so back that they have "cured" so many medical problems that cancer and dementia/Altimeters is all we have left to kill us. Our discussion was pre Covid.
