Glad to read he has been able to manage the AFIB. There is not enough education or emphasis on following chemo, immunotherapy, and radiation treatments and their effect on the heart.

Personally I developed heart failure. A friend had a heart attack. We were told that left side radiation to breast cancer patients always means follow up with cardiology. Nothing is ever said to lung cancer patients.

I would still have had my treatment knowing the possibility.

Sadly major possible side effects are not discussed, else maybe bc cancer pts might reject treatment.
Immunotherapy has also caused my husband hypothyroidism and back rash.
