Overwhelming fear after undetectable to slightly detectable psa

Received hormone treatment with casodex. Sixty days later diagnosed with heart failure. Stopped casodex.
Received a crt-d implant two weeks ago. Dr. Wants to start hormone therapy with casodex for two weeks, than
Elligard. Had a psa of 21 when starting casodex. After two months psa was 6.5. Now it’s 25. I will be 83 in two
Months. No other health issues. My second pet scan shows cancer spread mildly to t-2, t-4, t-12, sternum, and
Two ribs. I’m scared to start elligard, as I read about lots of very uncomfortable times from stories on the forums. What would happen if I stayed with casodex 50 mg per day. This did drop my psa in a60 day period.
Any ideas will be appreciated.

Took Eligard for 42 months. Great response to it. I am back on the drug again due to lymph node metastasis. I only have/had two constant side-effects: hot flashes and fatigue. I may have to take it for an even longer period of time now. It helps that I take a shot every 6 months. Best to you.
