Hi Lucia,
You mentioned twice in your note that the R br had an obvious peau d-orange  
appearance.  Did her clinicians not see this?  Is this still  there?  
It really sounds like she should be seeing a surgeon who specializes in  
breast and breastfeeding friendly.  
You may want to post this case on Susan Love's web site.
Another possibility is to get this mom to a therapist who does lymphatic  
massage.  I have info on Dr. Vodder School which specializes in manual  lymph 
drainage.  Their web site is _www.vodderschool.com_ (http://www.vodderschool.com) 
 than click on find a  specialist.  There are several in Massachusetts.
If you know the OB or midwife can you call them and share your  concerns?
It really does sound like either an abscess or cancer.
I hope she will continue to breastfeed from her L side.
Let us know.
