Hello everyone,

I posed this question last week but haven't received any response(s).
Meanwhile I have been looking for an answer in every resource I can put my
hands on, but can't find anything that even addresses it.  Perhaps I should
briefly introduce myself.  My name is Wendy McCoy.  I am a LLLeader and Area
Administrator in Northern California.  I have five children (4 breastfed
until natural weaning) and have been volunteering in the lactation field for
9 years or so.  Should I say that I'm studying to sit *the* exam in July?
:-)  Anyway, please take a moment to see if you have anything you could add
to my search for an answer for this mother.  Even pointing me toward a
reliable resource would be very much appreciated.  --  Warmly, Wendy McCoy

>>Having exhausted all my resources, I am turning to the 'experts' in the
field.  Can anyone answer this question?

"I just got a call from a mom who has a 4month old baby and is going back to
work this monday. Her question is: Is it ok to *administer* chemotherapy and
breastfeed? She said she did not do it while pregnant. "

I assume the mother is a HCP who sets up patients for chemo treatments.  Why
would she discontinue this practice while pregnant?  Is there a risk of
contact?

Thank you in advance for you wisdom.

Wendy McCoy, ACL - LLL of NCA/HI
Mama to: Marrianne, Joel, Joshua, Jacob and Josiah
