Just joined the forum but for very selfish reasons, I have just been diagnosed with Breast Cancer and I will be having a mastectomy followed by reconstructive surgery. Are there any other female divers out there who have been in a similar situation ? what I'm trying to find out is how long did you stop diving for and what problems you have found once you returned to diving ....
Any hyperbaric medicine doctors out there who have any opinions on the pros and cons with this type of surgery and the implications to scuba diving.. all comments welcome except for ...... stop diving  |
Good luck and I hope all goes well.
I would suggest finding a local dive doc or contact the London Diving Chamber. Diving docs I have dealt with are all keen divers and are always happy to offer advice although obviously for specific health problems they wont diagnose over the phone and would need to see you. But for the question you are asking I think a quick phone call to a diving doc would give you the answer.
