Ayelet,
This topic has been discussed in some detail on lactnet, check the  
archives. It is my understanding that, in general, it is best to  
postpone mammograms until several months after weaning. If that is  
not possible, it is best to make sure you have a radiologist who has  
a lot of experience reading mammograms of nursing mothers. One should  
not have to wean in order to have a mammogram.
