I had my latest quarterly labs&scans today. The results are already in:
* Lymph node mets: no significant changes (good news)
* Bone mets: no new or worsening lesions (good news)
* PSA is <0.01 (excellent news)
Hah! Beat me by two seconds. ๐

"Shirt-tail cousin" is a usefully vague term.
Much easier than "my uncle's second wife's ex-son-in-law's stepdaughter."
The Count didnโt bother me. The theme song did. Little kid lost in the big city, asking for directions over and over, โCan you tell me how to get to Sesame Street?โ Always creeped me out.

@allysonbeatrice.bsky.social My apologies. On re-read, I see my comment could be taken two ways. The way I intended it was that I thought perhaps my great-grandma's phrase described how you were feeling.
I'm sorry I don't have any useful suggestions on how to not feel that way.
My great-grandma had a phrase: "All et up with the I-don't-cares."

Chemo changed a lot of my taste perception. Some has changed back with time, some hasnโt.
