Hi @JoeyLiz, I can't say that I have persanal experience, I was 49 when I was diagnosed almost 3 years ago. However, I'm a midwife, and I have looked after a couple of women over the years who have had babies after bc. I didn't fully comprehend, or understand the significance, at the time. One in particular, I recall, was breastfeeding from her unaffected breast on discharge, if you're keen to be able to manage that, though I don't know how that went long term.
I do have a friend who was unable to breastfeed from one side for a completely different reason, but successfully breastfed 3 children for over 12 months. Again, no pressure intended, just letting you know it csn be done if you want :)
