Hi Star If she is working during her pregnancy it does not make sense that she cannot work during the lactation. I do not really know the details of oncology nursing and exposure to chemo agents, but common sense tells me that nurses working w/ chemo do not get/take the chemo themselves. Surely gloves, vials, tubing etc are barriers in place to avoid exposure to the health care worker. Correct me if I am wrong, though. Laurie Wheeler, RN, MN, IBCLC Violet Louisiana, s.e.
