Update 1 - 4th September 2026
Thank you for taking the time to read my book. I hope you enjoyed it, gained an understanding of my life, and caught a true sense of what it is like to face this insidious disease.
You have visited this page to find my final scan results—the results that would not necessary determine whether my life would be dramatically cut short but will give a good indication. For that is what these tests really are….an indication.
Personally, I avoid the word “remission.” To me, that word implies that you are waiting for the cancer to return. As you know from the book, I am all about living life with an approach that the glass is always 75% full.
Please see below for my latest test results, along with the results of the scheduled next 12 months of scans.
You may have guessed by now that Julie, Sophie, Craig, and I got the outcome we were mostly hoping for. There were still some issues that need following up. The scans to come will see if this news can get better and that this is not just a false hope. The more the scans show an improvement overtime the clearer the picture becomes and the more a normal life can be had.
Given these early results, I know that I am one of the lucky ones and we are all deliriously happy. I feel so sorry for those that haven’t been so fortunate, for there are so many.
Alongside these results, this page features some of our favourite family photos, sporting videos, and an opportunity for you to help fund vital cancer research.
Every little bit helps and Humanity thanks you for any contribution you wish to provide.
Bruce Lindner
Kidney cancer affects 13 Australians every day. For Bruce, it is the diagnosis that changed the course of his life, inspired him to write Time On in the Last, and led him to support the research that gives others hope for the future.
Every person affected by cancer has a different story, but they share the same hope: better treatments, better outcomes, and more time with the people they love.
That is why Bruce has chosen to support ANZUP Cancer Trials Group. Through world-class clinical trials and collaborative research, ANZUP is improving the prevention, diagnosis and treatment of Below the Belt cancers, helping more
Australians live longer and live better after a cancer diagnosis.
Research gives more people the opportunity to live life without fear of cancer.
Bruce has shared his story to inspire hope. Your donation helps turn that hope into life-changing research.
