I figured you probably already knew about the nursing issue.

There isn't adequate screening yet to find out if specific patients will benefit from it or if they won't. That's what bothered J and I about having him go on Erbitux for 8 weeks. But, we thought it was better to go at it with everything the doctors were able to give him. Adding Erbitux to radiation wouldn't do anything about distant mets (they'd be undetectable at the early stage) but it could help avoid a local recurrence. So, avoiding it in the same area was what appealed to J, given his situation.

I pumped and dumped for a couple of weeks when my oldest was a newborn so that I could take an antibiotic for strep. I nearly lost my milk but it came back. My biggest problem was getting him on formula. It was a little rocky at first but it all worked out fine.
