The only  thing I 
read on Hale's site was it would probably be ok to resume  breastfeeding 2 
weeks after the last treatment but there is no research to  back this up.  Of 
course the oncologist is telling her no way.   




Dear Friends:
    If chemotherapy is used during pregnancy, how can  it be prohibited 
during breastfeeding?
    I am interested in evidence supporting the use of  chemotherapy during 
pregnancy. My understanding is that it attacks fast growing  cells; a baby is 
nothing but a bundle of fast growing cells. However, we are in  a new era. Does 
anyone have information about this?
    warmly,
