Good Morning All,

I received a call from a mom yesterday whose provider referred her.  She is 33, pregnant with twins due in Feb. '14.  She had Hodgkin's disease 14 years ago and received radiation to the chest area between the notch of her neck and where the breasts begin.  The radiation wasn't to the breasts themselves.   She has had no size changes in her breasts during pregnancy and when I asked about infertility, this pregnancy is an IUI.  She had all kinds of tests done and nothing showed as to why pregnancy couldn't occur.  She's had regular periods since a teen.  Her history is negative for everything else.  Will her lactation be affected due to the radiation?
Thank you for any info you can provide.
