6 years ago I returned to diving after a lumpectomy, high dose chemo (CAF), bone marrow transplant and radiotherapy to 5 fields (right breast and superclav back and front and left superclav back and front). In the States for PADI I had to check that there was no damage to the lung from the radio therapy hitting it. I had a lung function test, a chest X-ray and a CT scan of lung. A year later I also had a node removed from my left lung and had to have all the above again as I returned to the UK and BSAC system, and was passed fit to dive by a Dr in Edinburgh, who is on the recommended BSAC list. Much to his surprise he could see no reason why I could not dive. He was very helpful and quite informative. Good luck.
