PSA doubled again within three months.

My psa has doubled yet again within three months and lung mets are growing in size, while they have only grown a few millimeters they are still growing. I have had all of the first course of treatment after the prostate was removed and have been on Lupron since 2018, Oncologist has now added Xtandi to the mix. I also have in addition to the cancer, cirrhosis of the liver ( non alchoholic) and heart disease. My question is , is anybody out there perhaps in the same boat with other conditions and has Xtandi caused any issues with them?
