I hope that this was caught in time and that all will be well. There is a
good chance that everything will turn out for the best. We have a mom in
our LLL Group who had a similar scenario-when her son was about 8 months
old she had a mastectomy (unilateral) and went on to have two more
children who she breastfed on one breast without supplementing! The
remaining breast actually became enlarged, I guess to accomodate more
milk factories! She is an inspiration to us all. (The surgery was
performed about 9 or ten years ago, her youngest child is about 2 or
3...)
Best wishes for this mother and her family.
