Thx for your reply. EP said 20% likely that Keytruda caused his Afibs and flutters. He had ablations, then Cardioversion, then Amoiderone rate medication. Still having Afibs. Now also having thyroid issues.
He’s been on Keytruda every 3 weeks for 1 year, and has remained cancer free. I understand that Oncolgist doesn’t want him to die from cancer by doing the full protocol, but need to consider impact on other organs, esp heart. We cannot seem to get Onc and EP to discuss.

That's why I have a cardio onc. My regular oncologist is quite conservative. He said we'd discuss keytruda next week. I think he means to skip it. I already missed one due to colitis so I really want this one. He and I will most likely go along with the cardio-onc. And I'm also cancer free and hope to stay that way. 2 more keytrudas; the last one should be 8/5. Good luck with the decision. Does he have a cardio oncologist? They specialize in these problems and they're not unusual. My afib resulted from radiation for breast cancer in 1999.
