Especially with recent news of the young girl who chose to have no treatment during pregnancy, women still need to be aware of their options and have their questions answered like on this article and websites like http://www.breastcanceranswers.com who help answer all those questions you may have about breast cancer, treatments, options and anything else that is on your mind. I also like that they have a printable 15 questions to ask your doctor pdf for you to bring, this is so helpful so you don't forget anything crucial to your treatment and options.

Regarding whether breastfeeding is safe or not: An option rarely offered to pregnant women with breast cancer is that of pumping and dumping until treatment is finished and the milk is safe. This way, she'll have brought in a milk supply that is then available for her baby.
