------Hello Jane,
I counselled a mother once after breastcancer. Her breast was completely
removed (masectomie) and she was able to feed with one breast. It was an
enourmous positive boost in the trust of her body. I don't know if there are
any specialities when the breast isn't fully removed.
I wish you good luck in helping her. Helping BF-mothers is wonderful, but
helping a survivor is even better.
