Hi friends: I'm a recently diagnosed person with *** cancer. I am going crazy not swimming due to surgery but hope to be back in the pool soon. I am going to have the catheter implanted in my chest for chemo and am wondering about swimming with it. Some sources say that is fine; others say that repetitive motion like swimming or rowing is not good when you have an implanted catheter. Does anyone have any experience with this? Mentally, I need to swim through this. Thanks for you advice/help.

Hi Peggy:
I have no knowledge of catheters.....I do have a fair amount of knowledge regarding trudging up hill in life....I am very sorry to hear your fighting this awful disease. I will keep you in my Prayers...and my thoughts.... Keep your chin up and fight like heck to get well soon. I can speak for all of here at USMS when I say we hope and Pray you return to the pool soon.
God bless...
Kindest regards,
Tom Ellison
