Dear Friends,
I spoke to a woman today who had a lumpectomy 8 years ago in her left breast and has not been able to get a drop of milk out of it.  According to the report she had at home, the doctor removed an intraductal papilloma.  He removed 8 grams of tissue all together.  She gave birth to her first baby a month ago.  From the beginning no one and no pump could get even a drop out of her left breast.  When her milk came in she became engorged and treated the breast with cold compresses.  The engorgement passed and the mother has just been using the right side.
Both a surgeon in the hospital where she gave birth and the surgeon who did the lumpectomy said that her problems with her left breasts are probably because of the it.  It doesn't make sense to me that this minor operation caused this - does it make sense to anyone else?
Thanks,
Chayn, very tired in Israel
