Does anyone know where to get a mammogram in Southern California if the woman is lactating?
I have a woman who has asked this question. Her doctor is telling her to wean her 8 month old to get a mammogram, and she is not going to do that. She nursed her first to 2 1/2 years. She is high risk for cancer, and is 42 years old, so she wants to get the test. However, no one she has called will do the test if she is lactating. She also will need someone who knows how to read a mammogram of a lactating breast read her test.
Thanks
