Hello wise ones,

I have an aquaintence suffering with cancer during her pregnancy. She is
currently undergoing treatment with Taxol and Carboplatinum (which I think
is the same as carboplatin - awating confirmation). So far it looks like she
will get her last chemo treatment 7 weeks before her scheduled 34 week
c-section. She has been told when she wakes from surgery she can
breastfeeding (or she is under that impression). Anyhow, she says they do
want to do two more chemo treatments after that but she does not and is
prepared to fight them in order to be able to breastfeed her baby. She is
even up for pumping and dumping if necessary. 

My question: Does anyone know how long she has to wait before breastfeeding
after each Chemo treatment? She has been told 1 month. That is a long time
to pump and dump. I have Hale's book but do not understand all the half life
stuff and don't know what is the proper amount of time to wait before
breastfeeding again. 

Thank you,
micky jones
