Wouldn't it have been better to arrange a meeting between the oncologist and a doctor from the board of diving physicians that work for DAN, NAUI, PADI, or any other diving certification agency so as to EDUCATE the oncologist as to the contraindications for diving? That in my opinion would have been my course of action.
