I worked with a lady going through this last year. The radiation they use
are implants and apparently they like the fat in milk and will seek it out.
It is important to wean first to protect mother's breasts from the radiation
which could increase her risk of breast cancer. This mother was not able to
hold her baby for a few days after treatment. Tom Hale has a good deal of
information on this.  Cathy Liles
