Hello all,

A wonderful lactation consultant local to me is helping out with this study, and has asked me to pass on the info to anyone here who might be eligible. This is a great opportunity to support breast cancer research.

Had, or expecting to have a breast biopsy? Please participate in this study.

Dr. Kathleen Arcaro at the University of Massachusetts, Amherst, is looking for nursing mothers to participate in her breast cancer studies. Participants must be nursing and have had, or are expecting to have, a breast biopsy. Participants provide a breastmilk sample (which is sent by overnight mail at the study's expense from anywhere in the U.S.) fill out a questionnaire, and provide a copy of their biopsy report. Mothers are given $50 in thanks for their participation. Interested mothers can contact Dr. Sarah Lenington at slenington@cns.umass.edu or (413) 545-1037.
