Hi,
If you don't want chemo then you may try GnRH agonists with anti-androgens and GnRH antagonists. If these don't help you, chemotherapy may be needed.
Please consult your oncologist, he will examine and treat you accordingly.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
