Hi, I had a 1cm tumour removed 8 weeks ago from my left upper lobe part of the lung. The operation was keyhole and completely removed the cancer. The tumour had metasticised from my right kidney which was removed 18 months ago. I am also waiting to have my right adrenal gland removed, this has a 19mm tumour in it. Apart from all of the above I have no other medical problems, I am generally fit and walk anything up to 8 miles a day and either cycle indoors on a bike trainer for a couple of hours or outside for 1 1/2 - 2 hours. I have also swam on average 5 miles a week for years. I am 65. The surgeon said I shouldn't fly or swim for six months after the surgery. Has anybody had a similar operation and has returned to swimming earlier than 6 months?

Thanks
