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.

I have a friend who just finished her colon cancer treatments. Her port was more trouble than it was worth, they were never able to use it because of infection, and finally took it out. I am not saying that will happen with you, I just knew she wishes it had never been put in.
Prayers are with you through this trying time, good luck.
