@greg2026 Again, no one here can diagnose you or recommend treatment, but I think this thread is generating good questions to keep asking your team (wherever you end up getting treatment).
Was the radiation to your prostate? Have they explained why they're recommending chemo instead of radiation to the individual metastases? (Maybe they're too close to each-other?)

@northoftheborder 1-local oncologist said Chemo and no other option 2-Second (Mayo) and third opinion said that is Chemo is not standard of care Radiation + ADT (Hormone Therapy) is standard of care you want to keep Chemo in your back pocket just in case you need it at a later time.
I went with Mayo and have had 20 days of radiation treatments (Prostate, Lymph nodes, Bladder, 2 bone Metastasis). Sense Medical Oncologist has retired and suggested I go back to the original local oncologist my case was "too easy" for Mayo Oncology team (WHAT? very degrading). Stated I went with Mayo because of the original recommendation no way would I reengage with my local oncologist who did not lay out the options.
