Hi Marcia
Sounds like you have a full plate. Sorry you’re going through this terrible journey. I just completed my 8th FLOT treatment and also my first immunotherapy not with chemo. I already had hypothyroidism and now my thyroid numbers are too high. Speaking with my endocrinologist I am increasing my synthroid medication and checking TSH in 6 weeks. I sympathize with how hard the chemo is and the side effects are crappy. But talk to your oncologist. Have them consult with a team if they have one. Power through and consider your discomfort over the disease progression. Terrible choices but I survived the first wave of chemo the grim surgery and the second phase of chemo. None of this is easy. Good luck and God speed.

@wklapp
Thanks for the caring reply here, wklapp. It's such a hard process, and you had the surgery atop it all.
I'm just holding out till my March 25 scan, so hoping not authors an improvement!
Best wishes for your path ahead too.
Marcia
