Hi greenmoon22

Thank you for posting. You may benefit from speaking to one of our clinical nurse specialists on 0808 800 6000. They can provide information and support about your treatment and breastfeeding. You can call them free on the number above, or post your message to the Ask Our Nurses board. 

Sending you our best wishes,

Lumpectomy and breastfeeding

Hi, I have a DCIS diagnosis about to find out about exact treatment but Dr has said surgery and probably radiotherapy.  He’s also told me to wean from breastfeeding to assist the surgery.  Everything I’ve read and been told from parents and professionals in the breastfeeding world contradicts this advice. Anyone have any experience of this? Have you continued feeding or weaned before treatment?
