Treatment for Prostate Cancer Metastasized to Bones

I had bone mets on the back of my neck to the middle of back. Some spots on my rib cage. I had Doxetel back in 2018. The doctor told me that there was no further activity from those areas and that they have healed to a point where they are not bothering me. From my latest scans, I have tracer activity in some new areas, but I have no pain. I mostly suffer from muscle aches and sometimes minor bone pain, but nothing serious. Jevtana is a newer drug that targets prostate cancer cells mostly, leaving the good cells alone. Its not as harsh as Doxetel and my hair didn't fall out. I'm having Carboplatin added to it because this is my 2nd time on it. They tried Pluvicto and it didn't work for me. My PSA doubled, so they put me back on Jevtana with Carboplatin. So far it has slowed the PSA, but it's creeping upward slowly and I'm afraid they're going to have to move onto another medication in the near future.
