A week ago I got great news from my oncologist and radiation oncologist. Excellent results, no signs of the tumor.

On Thursday of last week I flew to Ft Lauderdale and spent the weekend diving. I was nervous about getting back in the water, but everything went very well. I took it very easy and was very aware of breathing and any signs of distress. I also had 3 dive buddies in very close proximity that are completely aware of the situation and who were constantly checking on me. In total over the 3 dive days I did 7 dives including wreck dives up to about 85 ft and multiple shallow reef drift dives.

I am very happy to say there were no issues either under water or getting in and out of the boat in "sporty" conditions.
 
Welcome back to the water.....thats the fun part! But more importantly, congratulations on beating the cancer :banana:
 
Congrats, and continued good health and diving!

It took 3 years for me to recover enough strength to start diving again, but I'm havin' fun now.
