Hi, I am coming to the end of treatment (4 radio to go) and whilst I'm not planning any holidays yet I was wondering are there any ladies on here who have finished treatment and returned to diving? I was Triple Negative, lumpectomy, axillary clearance chemo and radio. I plan to get a diving Doc review but wondered if any caution on depth etc when returning.

thank you

Great to hear your treatment is finished and you are ready to go. I've recently chosen not to carry on diving due to medication sideffects e. G really bad cramps, I used to really enjoy the diving I did. I read alot about diving post treatment and feedback tended to lean against it. It was on the diving doctors national site. Although my surgeon is a diver and he told me to go for it!. I think it's just another one of those occasions when it falls to personal choice. Good idea to get a review.

Hope you are able to continue diving, its a beautiful world down there

Take care x

Thanks Israel,

what a bummer you decided not to carry on. I'll let you know if and when I ever get back in the water! I'm a warm water girl these days so it may be a while before we can travel abroad anyway.

Best wishes
