Renee, I think you are referring to ductal carcinoma in situ or DCIS.  Did 
this mom have bilateral DCIS and/or bilateral radiation of the breast?  If 
she was only treated on one side, she may be able to breastfeed from the 
unaffected breast.  (see 
http://www.susanlovemd.org/faq/breast-feeding/breast-feeding2.html)

Is it possible that the lack of milk is related to the extreme stress this 
mother is undergoing?  Please try to find out if she had any breast 
growth/change during pregnancy.  All may not be lost.

Try googling "ductal carcinoma in situ" + breastfeeding OR DCIS + 
breastfeeding.

Subject: ductus carcinoma insitu

Hello friends,
I have met a mom who has had a 32 weeker and is in the NICU  currently.  Mom
gave me permission to post.  She is 22 and at age 18  was diagnosed with
ductus carcinoma insitu.  She had much of her milk ducts  removed.  She is 
having a
hard time because she wanted to breastfeed so  badly.  She obviously has no
ducts because she has made no milk  whatsoever.
