Dr. Anne Eglash is on LACTNET and can likely offer more information. I
asked a similar question of her and she said that they have mothers pump or
BF right before the mammogram. She would then see a breast surgeon to see
if a biopsy should be done. I believe this is a relatively new course of
treatment for her system.

Perhaps the mother can be the squeaky wheel and be more insistent?

<<<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?>>>
