I attempted to respond to Phyllis's request for info on unilateral bfg post-mastectomy on opposite breast. The msg. bounced so I am posting to the list in hopes it gets to you. >Dear Phyllis, I am sure others will post with ref. and there are some in >journals like Cancer, and others. K. Auerbach speaks at the Rush School of >Nursing Cancer meetings about this time every yr. and the bibliography is >full of all sorts of refs. about preg. and lact. post-treatment. I don't >have the bib. home, but I went to the meeting in Chicago last winter and it >was great. >I am posting because I have worked with a woman who fully lactated several >yrs. after mastectomy. She had early prob. with cracked nipple -- simple >postitioning issues. Using one breast to feed one baby is the same idea as >nursing twins. There is no contraindication if mother's cancer is in >remission, she is not currently on any toxic meds etc. and she feels well >and wants to. >Barbara Wilson-Clay, BSE, IBCLC >priv. pract.
