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
