My paternal grandfather died of a malignant melanoma, and I have had lots
of moles removed, including during breastfeeding. I also had a suspicious
sore removed, which turned out to be basal cell carcinoma. NEVER has
nursing been an issue. It's a shot of local anesthetic and a few fairly
simple cuts. The bcc was on my face, so they took great care with the
removal and the wound closure.
These are local procedures, and should have no bearing at all on
breastfeeding.
Sounds like a conversation with the doctor is in order, because he may have
something more invasive in mind.
