was the cancer bilateral? if not, she can bf on the other side.
moms of premies or babies in nicu are at special risk for low supplies due 
to a multitude of factors, so do all you can to maximize her potential if 
she can bf on other side.

if she wishes the baby to be fed donor milk, encourage her to be more 
persistant with the physician. perhaps she can contact a milk bank and speak 
to the staff and they can suggest a way to proceed witht he physician or 
send her some written material to share. perhaps the doc is just not 
familiar or comfortable with banked milk .
