Prostate part 2, possibly of many

Phone call from oncology today. I discovered that "no indication of spread" doesn't mean "clear". The scans done so far have shown no indication, but they might have missed something microscopic, so I'll now have another scan done which is more likely to detect such tiny beasts. Whether it does or not, I'm due radiation therapy in one form or another, and possibly drugs as well, all to be determined after the next scan.

First criticism of the way my treatment has been handled so far. They could have told me at the beginning that a second round of scanning would be required if the first round didn't show anything, and that in fact treatment in one form or another was going to happen anyway.
