<.....Mom had a fever than, red
breast with lumps on right breast within 1-3 o'clock margins.  She was
given Dicloxicillin for 10 days and felt better.  On the 22nd was seen
again, same symptoms but without the fever.... >

Breast cancer seems unlikely - fever / lumps / redness sounds like a
bacterial infection. Maybe she does need the antibiotics IV or maybe an
abscess has developed. Have you heard the results of the ultrasound? If the
nipple is red and burning, she may need antifungal treatment as well.

PS. Breastfeeding Review (Nov) has arrived today. Congrats to Cathy
Fetherston on winning NMAA's Mary Paton Research Award for the best original
paper on breastfeeding. (It's a review of mastitis - but we have to wait
until March to see it!). Also, they have reprinted the two articles on
breastfeeding rates in Australia that I wrote with Susan Donath.
PPS. I am waiting for Nov JHL - do other Aussie lactnetters have it yet?
