Renee, I think you are referring to ductal carcinoma in situ or DCIS. Did
this mom have bilateral DCIS and/or bilateral radiation of the breast? If
she was only treated on one side, she may be able to breastfeed from the
unaffected breast. (see
http://www.susanlovemd.org/faq/breast-feeding/breast-feeding2.html)
Is it possible that the lack of milk is related to the extreme stress this
mother is undergoing? Please try to find out if she had any breast
growth/change during pregnancy. All may not be lost.
Try googling "ductal carcinoma in situ" + breastfeeding OR DCIS +
breastfeeding.

Subject: ductus carcinoma insitu
Hello friends,
I have met a mom who has had a 32 weeker and is in the NICU currently. Mom
gave me permission to post. She is 22 and at age 18 was diagnosed with
ductus carcinoma insitu. She had much of her milk ducts removed. She is
having a
hard time because she wanted to breastfeed so badly. She obviously has no
ducts because she has made no milk whatsoever.
