Hi
I also was a keen diver before diagnosis.
I discussed this topic with my Oncologist Prof Rustin at Mount Vernon Hospital.
As far as he was concerned there was no danger for me to go ahead and start diving again once i felt fit.
But he did say it was totally dependant on the dosage you were given during treatment, so guess this is different for every person. He also mentioned that doseage in the UK can sometimes be quite different to what may be given in the US?
I am yet to go, but as i am now begining to get fitter and have started to actively improve my fitness levels, i can feel the urge calling.
