I am in search of some articles to share with some of my colleagues about
breastfeeding after breast cancer. I recently had a mom with a right
mastectomy with reconstruction and a left breast with a saline implant. My
colleagues say that she should NOT nurse at the left breast because this can
cause the regrowth of cancer cells. This isnt even the breast she had cancer
in, shes not nursing that side at all because it has no mammary tissue left.
The archive search didn't turn up anything about this I need actual
references, preferably articles to supply these nurses with, please help if
you can!!!!!! TIA!!!
