Bone scan results
July 13, 2016

Hi, Kiddo.
Here's the result of the bone scan I had -- the cancer hasn't spread. Key points are underlined.

Study Result
IMPRESSION: 
No convincing evidence of bone metastases.
Degenerative changes as noted above.
END OF IMPRESSION.

Narrative
[HST]: Prostate cancer with PSA of 19- rule out mets
EXAMINATION: TOTAL BODY BONE SCAN, 11/13/2015
CLINICAL INDICATION: Prostate carcinoma.

COMPARISON: No previous.

RADIOPHARMACEUTICAL: 27 mCi of Tc99m-MDP, I.V.

PROCEDURE: Following intravenous injection Tc99m-MDP, three hour 
delayed images of the total body were obtained in anterior and 
posterior projections. 

FINDINGS: 
In the right acromioclavicular joint, there is asymmetrically 
increased radiotracer uptake. This is typical for degenerative 
changes.

Left first digit carpometacarpal joint with degenerative changes.
Right medial proximal tibia uptake is compatible with degenerative 
changes.

Small joint uptake of the bilateral feet and ankle are compatible 
with degenerative changes.

No abnormally increased radiotracer uptake to suggest bone metastases.

Kidneys are symmetrical and normal.

That's it -- that's the report
Love, Dad.
