Does Chemo work? Is it worth it?

I finished 10 rounds of chemo about a year ago. I'm stage 4, metastasized to the bone, started with a psa of 932, now it's .08. With the chemo treatment, I was also on firmagon shot and prednisone. The chemo treatment is now a distant memory. Wasn't easy of course but you can get through it. I had side effects but never new which treatment was causing what side effect. For me the chemo worked, my leg pain is gone, sure the cancer is still there but still I'm still going forward. My diagnosis and treatment started very fast and didn't give me much time to dwell on any of it. As I joke, I sat in the back of the bus and waved out the window. You can do this. Best to all.

Thanks everyone for all the 'hope'....It means a lot to hear other people made it through and this isn't the end. Thank you

May I ask how you are doing now?during and After your chemo treatments how long did it take you to notice positive changes? Before chemo did you do hormone therapy ? My father is to start docetaxel once a week for 3 to 4 weeks at a time soon for his PC that's to the bones as well.
