Most things I read about radiation talk about how bad it is for breastfeeding mothers...however, if a mom has to have radiation to her uterine area following a total hysterectomy wouldn't that area be contained enough to make breastfeeding ok...I want to tell this mom it's ok, but want to check with you experts before I confidently speak to her.
Thanks.
