I have a mom who has to  have a mamogram on her l breast due to a spot seen 
before pregnancy. .....The  md's have told
her to have the mammogram as soon as she "dries up". Will  the left side
dry up if she just nurses on the  right?.>>>>>>>>>>>

 
 
Yes, eventually, but "drying up" is not needed for a mammogram for  *most* 
lactating women.
 
There should be a facility somewhere close enough, that can evaluate your  
client for a mammogram while lactating.
 
Salisbury MD is about a 2(?) hour drive from DC, so maybe way too far  for 
your client, Baltimore may be closer?
 
If you need Baltimore contacts let me know, otherwise, here are a couple of  
breast care centers in DC that know how to do a mammogram on a lactating  mom.
 
 
The George Washington University Hospital's Center for Breast Care  Services

To schedule a mammogram, call 202-715-4907. Ask about Dr Christine Teal.




Georgetown University Medical Center: Betty Lou Ourisman Breast Health  Center
Call (202) 444-3315 for an appointment.
 
 
Also, Google "mammogram while lactating"
