Thx for your reply.
Although he feels so much better, he has had a couple of afibs thus far during the first 2 weeks of the “blanking period” (which is 6-8 weeks?).

Keytruda does warn about possibly causing heart beat irregularities, along with “a billion” other warnings. He also just started experiencing low or high TSH readings, yet another Keytruda warning.

Difficult to weigh risk of no immunotherapy vs organ issues.

@abob
I hope the ablation is ultimately successful after the blanking period. It would be great for you to eliminate that worry.

I hear you on the list of side effects for cancer meds. I’m on 3 meds for two different cancers and all are causing issues. I also had the very dangerous QT prolongation heart rhythm from Kisqali but we fixed that by lowering the dose.

The choices are not black and white. I constantly feel like I’m choosing between the lesser of two evils and hope I choose wisely.

I hope you’ll provide an update after the initial period.
