I just spoke with a lady who is breastfeeding her 4 month old.  
Her mother has had a mastectomy with "radiation implants"  the nursing mom 
doesn't know what kind of radiation other than to say that the doctor told her 
not to get very close to her mom for 6 hours.  Tc-99m?
She wants to know if she should pump and dump or continue to breastfeed as 
normal.  
I have never posted, but I have learned ALOT from your wisdom!  
I would appreciate any light  anyone could shed on this.
Many thanks,
Joyce, RNC, IBCLC
