optional treatment

I am have been with prostate cancer for 3 + years. Have been on lupron for first 2 years and it kept the cancer in check. My oncologist took me off lupron for a year and I have experienced several flair ups, . I Mostly in my bones. He wants me to go back on hormone therapy. Are there any other therapies that are as good as Lupron without the nasty side affects?
