Hi Tom, as you can see, this topic i know about. I was a triathlete before TX, and will return. I was also a almost daily ocean swimmer. I thought I could swim through treatment, wrong!! Bud I did research the subject and my GI said as long as the wound was healed it would be OK. 6 weeks should be good enough. I do not know about diving, a bit more preasure rthan swiming on the surface!
BTW, 6 months post treatment, PEG is out and I am back in the pool. Ocean soon! Swimming is a very good post tx exercise, easy on the bod and nice to get the full body streach
good luck
70 male, athlete...again SSC of undetermined orgin , early july 09 40 tx radiation, 8 chemo cisplatin and ebuterx finished TX in mid Sept 09 Clear at the 6 year mark! Back to swimming, biking and running! just a tad slower never regained my weight, even when I eat lots and lots, just a skinny guy now
Just way glad to be seeing the green side up!
