Ha! I feel for the mother indeed.
I hate to break it to you, oh impotent one, but you're not the big bad anymore, you're not even the kind of naughty.

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.
Thank you all for the good wishes.
I had CT scans and bone scan on Friday. I had the consult to review results with the oncologist today.
Summary:
1) Unchanged retroperitoneal and left iliac chain nodal metastases.
2) No new or enlarging lymphadenopathy.
3) Stable osseous metastatic disease without discrete new lesion.
4) PSA is still undetectable.
That is all good news. The meds I am taking are doing what I need them to do. The side effects are no fun, but I am coping.

That is all good news
Excellent news indeed!

I’m glad the results are looking good, dcp.

Stable, unchanged, I like the sound of those words.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Glad to hear most of that, dcp.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
Glad it's working! Sorry about the side effects.

Yay for stability, dcp!
Attending JZ's memorial in anything more than spirit won't be possible for me, but I'll be thinking of her and all of you.
Same. We'll be in Oklahoma that weekend for my niece's high school graduation, but I'll raise a glass in your direction.

By far, one of the most fucked up parts of the last several years is the sinking, bone-deep understanding that, when the apocalypse comes, yes, you will still have to go to your job, and yes your landlord will still expect you to pay your rent.

Stability sounds mighty good, dcp!

Right? You'll be on the freeway with hellfire raining down around you, and manage to call work (even though cell service should be down; let's chalk this up to the deal that Verizon made with the devil), and your boss replies "This'll be your third time being late in a month. You know that means I'm going to have to write you up" as you hear buildings collapsing in the background.
