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?
