Treating Ca during pregnancy is a touchy situation.  I am reasonably sure 
that after delivery, meds will be changed and/or increased. Chemo is one of 
the reasons BF is a no-no.  She may negotiate with drs to withhold treatment 
for a few weeks and nurse baby briefly (maybe to six weeks) which will give 
baby the initial good stuff.

The issue is she needs the chemo or baby may not have a mom, not whether or 
not baby needs mom to breastfeed.

Very sad situation with no good answers.
Anyone on Lactnet with expertise in Ca?  Pat in SNJ
