I was diagnosed with breast cancer at the age of 23 in 2001, I received a lumpectomy and then chemo and radiation in 2002. Things have been fine since then, I’m in remission. Now I’m pregnant for the first time, I’m 29 years old, and I’d like to breast feed my child but I’m wondering if it is safe to do that after everything my breasts have been through. Does anyone have any experience with this?

Liz glad to hear you are in remission. Go to breastcancer.org it is a live chat forum. All the women in there either have or had BC and are of all ages.
I personally don't think it is a problem but I would call your oncologist and ask just to be on the safe side. Good luck

Well i would really have to say you should ask your doctor about it, they may need to do some testing on you to check, so since you know you are pregant, then why not ask your doctor when you go and see him.
