Hi everyone, for those of you who know or remember me from posting. I passed the boards and I am honored to be in such wonderful company - I still feel not worthy !! Just a thought - I had a routine mammo today - my second since my baseline in 1999 . Everything was fine thank God. But what a bad experience with the radiologist, I happened to mention that I was breastfeeding for the last 4+ years, but was weaning for months and doubted there was much milk production, and that I was definitly in the involution Stage. This radiologist ( a man) would not even come out and talk to me, the poor tech had to go back and forth with our discussion. I knew that there would be no problem reading the films ( I am large and dense) - and no I was not going to totally wean my 4 yr old for this reason and then re test in three months. Just wondering is this just normal protocol for nursing mothers to have weaned for three months before attempting to do a mammography. I'm sure there are some radiologist that are educated in lactation somewhere in the US - just not in my area. That's is another subject altogether !! Even knowing what I do know now, I still cannot be totally sure that my daughter is getting anything in her 2 -5 minute bed time nursing. Although she swears she does, I know it is mostly comfort and with the flu season upon us whatever little milk she does get - it would be benificial for her. Thanks for all your wisdom through this last year.
