A woman who starts chemo for breast cancer today (after a very sad weaning
of her 4 month old) is still pumping to taper off.  She'd like the milk to
be used for something, and asked about having it tested for the 3 or 4
different drugs she'll be taking, to see what the milk levels are.

Does anyone know a lab that would be able/interested to do so?

Also:  has anyone had experience with mothers nursing while deliberately
*not* delivering milk, eg with a blind nipple shield?

Again, sorry if I've duplicated earlier posts.
