Suggest Treatment For A Prostate Cancer

My husband had is prostate removed ten years ago and five years later had reoccuring prostate cancer and had radiation. Now his PSA went from 4.2 to 12.7 in 2 1/2 months. They are recommending the lupron shots , are there any other alternatives and why does he have to wait to see if that works, and if it doesn t he would then get chemotherapy?
