i am 4 mnths post op for a lung lobectomy, whole top right lobe removed. it was for stage 1a cancer, biopsy says no more cancer. did have a complication with a lung hernia, lung used to poke out a little on my side, it has since resolved itself…..i am improving all the time, doing gym work (weights) and started light jogging.
i wonder in time would it be ok to go scuba diving ,…wouldn't be doing it for a year or two yet though….before my op my surgeon here in singapore said should be able…i was and still am a pretty fit guy, infact i used to be a commercial diver (air an saturation) until about 15 years ago….i would still like to go sport scuba diving though and snorkelling….(what are good exercises to build up my breath holding for snorkelling / free diving)
so, so you think scuba diving is ok or just taking silly chances???
