OK, I really want to dive again. I have stage IV metastasized breast cancer and have finished my first 18 weeks of chemo with Taxol. Now I'm on herceptin and zometa every three weeks for a year. I feel good these days and am anxious to get back under water while I still am able. I realize that I have to be careful of the port, but I always dive with my arms crossed and let my legs do the work. I think snorkeling is actually more work than diving.
My oncologist, not a diver at all, thinks that the port would be under "pressure." (It's up in my chest and away from my BC. ) I don't think that's the issue here.
I have made 594 dives and am 73 - yes that's old, but I'm a careful diver with a husband who looks out for me underwater.
