    I am just about to start cycle 3 of my first course of chemo.  However I went into AF just after the second cycle.  My chemo is irinotecan with fluorouracil (5FU) and folinic acid (FOLFIRI).  This is given in course of 12 cycles of 2 weeks.   I am also on the monoclonal antibody cetuximab. 

    I am worried that the AF will stop my chemo.  Is there anybody else out here who has had AF whilst on chemo who can share their experiences…
