Ablation for Afib

After reading these posts, I did find a Cardio-Onc within 40 miles, but I don’t know whether she’s even taking new patients. It would have been great to be connected with her at the start of his Afibs/irregulars. But as you said, too late now.

Husband was ok thru Chemo, but now one year into Keytruda, he has Afibs and hypo thyroid issues. I wish we had been more aware with a discussion about possibly stopping Keytruda. Onc posted Keytruda document on his portal as “education”. Thanks a lot for this huge indecipherable document after the fact. I’m thinking Onc doesn’t want him dying from cancef, but has no regard for his other major issues caused by her “cure”.

I’m disgruntled. Thx for listening.

I agree that most specialists only worry about their slice of the pie. I’m not happy about ending up with AFib either but I’m guessing I was predisposed and cancer treatment pushed me over the line.

As for hypothyroidism, I’ve been on levothyroxine for that for 36 years now. Impressive, easy med, easy fix. I wish all my disorders were as easy to fix as that one was. They just need to figure out the right dose for him and it takes a few weeks to fully work. Hang in there.
