Treatment for Prostate Cancer Metastasized to Bones

Hi,
Did you have Chemo and if so how long ago did you have it? That's great you are doing okay after 14 years. That's really great.
My husband's PSA is up to 60 now. He's on Apalutamide and Eligard shot every 4 months, but the hormone therapy is not working as well anymore. He was diagnosed with Stage 4 metasasized to bones and lymph gland and his PSA was 418. They started him on hormone therapy and it dropped in 6 months to 2.6, but 1 1/2 years ago, it's been going up and up.
We just saw the oncologist last week, and they will do another bone scan and CT scan and them maybe Chemo in Sept., although we are both scared of Chemo and what will this do?
Did you have Chemo?

4 years, not 14 (though I'm hopeful 🙂). No chemo because there was just one huge metastasis on my spine, so they treated it with debulking surgery and radiation instead. Unfortunately, they didn't catch it in time to prevent temporary paraplegia, and it was a long road back to walking again.
