Thank you for posting this information. I am 5 months pregnant with my first baby, after undergoing a lumpectomy, chemotherapy, and heavy radiation to my right breast three years ago. There is a marked difference in my breast’s sizes as the pregnancy progresses. The affected side is not growing, as the other other is, well, thriving. It is hard to know what to expect, and with the possibilities of mastitis and blocked ducts, having only one breast to work with can be a scary thing.
I look forward to hearing more experiences in this instance, and sharing my own when the baby is born.

Thank you so much for this information. I am a 30 year old bc survivor and an now pregnant with my first child. There is very little information on breastfeeding after lumpectomy and radiation. I really appreciate this post!
