What a beautiful story

Hi :) I had breast cancer in 2018 and I just started diving this February. I love it so much, but I hadn't really connected it to cancer. I had just a lumpectomy and radiation though, no chemo.

Maybe it's my age but I seem to keep getting into things that the veterans agree used to be better before - e.g., scuba diving and the teaching profession. One thing that doesn't enhance my enthusiasm for them is a constant drumming on everything I'm missing out on.

I've found lockdown great for losing weight once I committed. So few temptations... I've been doing similar to your daughter - very low carb, relatively high protein. I haven't done the scheduled eating or regular exercises. Now that friends who cook (amazing and delicious) are inviting me...

Thanks all, and no worries on the gendering. It's the internet, right :) RichieRich, glad to run into another Brooklynite! I am up in Crown Heights, near the Brooklyn Museum. So far the only dive shop I've been to is LeisurePro so it would be cool to come see your shop and meet you. Marie13, I...

I had a streak earlier this spring where I was waking up early and walking over 5 miles before starting work. I felt...

Hi ScubaBoard! I've been reading obsessively for a couple of weeks and thought I'd actually join. I spontaneously did a DSD experience on what was meant to be a family snorkeling vacation and fell in love. I'm trying to figure out how much diving I can afford and where. I'm working within the...

Oezkan I am so happy you got hopeful news and I wish you all the best! I'm also very happy to have found this thread since I was taught the nose-pinch-blow method (without actually learning the name) on my OWC. I was already experimenting with swallowing but it never would have occurred to me...
