I have been recently diagnosed with lymph edema (caused by metastatic cancer) which has caused a DVT in my right leg. I have been put on warfarin to dissolve the blood clot and have been told that because the condition which the blood clot was cause can not be resolved, I will be on the meds for the rest of my life.

Help...my doc is not a diver, nor is she open to having a discussion with DAN. Anybody out there dive while on coumadin with an PT/INR of 3-3.5?
