I am being treated for breastcancer, Taxotere/Cytoxan/Herceptin every 3 weeks. I weaned my 2 year old after the diagnosis but he still likes to "knead" my nipples for comfort with his hands and I just discovered that I am still producing small amounts of milk. I minimize any contact with him for 48 hours after the infusions and he does NOT breastfeed. Could the exposure to his skin and inhalation of chemo drugs in drops of milk he might have got on his hands have caused any harm? Thanks
