Can I dive with an ovarian tumor?

As with breast cancer, an ovarian tumor that is cancerous will generally be surgically removed and radiation and chemotherapy will often be administered.  The same precautions apply here as with breast cancer.  Before you dive again consult with your doctor to ensure that there is no lung damage that would cause pulmonary barotrauma and to ensure that you are fully healed from surgery.
