Hi everyone,

Wanted to find out if anyone has experienced hyperthyroidism as an side effect for chemo or immunotherapy , Keytruda specifically.

What happens during this time? Shall we stop immunotherapy and treat for that or my dad can continue chemo/immuno and treat for hyperthyroidism too?

Thanks

Ina

Hi, @ina3 - I've merged your post asking about a connection between hyperthyroidism and chemotherapy or immunotherapy - pembrolizumab (Keytruda) specifically - with this discussion in which you've participated previously, so you can follow up with them on these developments with your dad and get their input, including how treatment for hyperthyroidism would play into the chemo/immuno regimen.

I'd invite @llwortman to return to offer her insights, and I'd also like to invite @merpreb @lady1lake @pc2018 to participate in this conversation.

What has your oncologist advised related to treatment for hyperthyroidism and how that would interact with chemo/immunotherapy?
