I know you have had some great advice I just wanted to add my story. Just after the birth of dd2 I noticed a mark on my left nipple and it grew really rapidly. I eventually saw a surgeon when dd2 was 3 weeks old and he booked me in for surgery the next week.
I got heaps of advise here, aba, my midwives and family and the drs made sure the drugs I had were ok for a bf mum. Xh brought dd2 to the waiting room so I could feed just before surgery and then to the recovery room so i fed immediately afterwards as well.
I did have to express on the left for two weeks until my scar healed but we continued to feed until she was 15 months old.
Surgery can be scary but it doesn't mean cutting back on bf'ing if you don't want it too.
