      Hey guys 

      at the beginning of September my father had 6 treatment of radiotherapy in his mediastinum .

      He was feeling quite well before it , but the night between the 5th and the 6th treatment started to suffer of severe dyspnea and atrial fibrillation .

      All doctors says that is mainly due to his melanoma but before the treatment he was feeling pretty well and having a normal life . Now he is on cortisone and other thousand of medicine and he was forced to stop keytruda  and he feels always very tired with no energy 

      I was wondering if there s anybody in the forum who experience such a strong side effects from

      radio  and for how long 

      cheers 

      Antonio
