I got diagnosed with breast cancer at 36 weeks pregnant, and we brought my daughter into the world at 37 weeks. The doctors had to perform a c-section so they waited a month before starting chemo. My daughter immediately went back to the breast after having to give her exclusively my expressed milk in a bottle for 24 hours after PET and MRI scans when she was 9 days old and 4 weeks old.
Breastfeeding is very important to me so I've chosen to pump and dump throughout chemo to keep up my supply. My last chemo is 2 weeks from today and my oncologists have no clue how long the chemo will be in my breast milk. It seems there is not much research on this My last AC was Oct 27th, and my last Taxol is on Dec 22nd. Does anyone know of reliable research on how long I should wait to resume breastfeeding?
