Radiation after triple therapy?

Finished triple therapy (6 cycles 85% docetaxel + 250mg Abiraterone with yogurt + 10mg Prednisone w/yogurt + Lupron (3 month) + XGeve monthly.

After 3rd cycle, a CT scan identified a new 3rd bone lesion (L1). Original bone scan identified lesion on Pelvis and C4. MO believes new legion occurred between bone scan and start of treatment. PSA .2 as of beginning of 6th cycle.

Meeting with MO on Tuesday and seeking recommendations of further treatment. Currently, I have no pain. My thought is to use RT to control metastasis and prevent future fractures. Is this a good time in my treatment to begin RT? Thoughts on other therapies or approaches?

Thanks for your responses! This site has been a God send.
