Guest guest Posted April 8, 2008 Report Share Posted April 8, 2008 greetings,mother pregnant, having thyroid ablation for thyroid cancer. doctorsoriginally wanted to do radiation treatment immediately post-deliveryand separate mom and baby for a week, with total weaning. now, because cancer does not appear to have spread, docs willing towait 6 months, but are suggesting total weaning, to achieve emptybreasts before radiation treatment. they say the reasons are that notenough is known about the effect of radiation on breast tissue, andthat it might travel through the milk (if pumping and dumping) andcause breast cancer later. any knowledge of whether this is a valid concern?thanks!Lyla Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
