I might suggest that the mother first seek a HCP who does thermography.
Non-invasive and might give a better picture on what is going on. Here the
procedure is done in a chiropractic setting performed by a chiro certified
in performing thermography and sent to a trained professional to evaluate.

Subject: Re: breastfeeding around chemotherapy for breast cancer
Hello all:
A bit off topic but related.
I've had a client very concerned about a small lump in her breast since
birthing her third baby 8 months ago. No one local would do a mammogram on a
lactating woman. Referred to an breast/oncology clinic in Seattle I'd heard
would perform. Client says they reviewed her ultrasounds but wouldn't
perform a mammogram on her due to reassuring US and the fact she's lactating.
So, HOW do we get a woman diagnosed with breast cancer while lactating?

Although few in number, I found them very helpful. However, they didn't
address a couple of questions.

with a mother currently nursing and she has been diagnosed with invasive
ductal carcinoma. The infant has just started some solids, but nursing full
time. The navigator called me with concerns about the mom researching the
possibility of intermittently not breastfeeding between chemotherapy dosing r/t
1/2 lives, etc.

into contact with her milk during the time she is expressing and discarding
it? Such as a) cleaning guidelines, b) equipment storage between equipment
uses, I'm assuming it would be recommended to store pump flanges/bottles
high out of potential reach/contact with toddler and other family in the
home. Is the concern just during the discarding time or would you recommend she
discard all those 'contaminated' supplies?
