A pay it forward chain that began with two nurses in an Indianapolis neo-natal intensive care unit has allowed a mother of three battling breast cancer to feed her 10-month-old daughter breast milk.
October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month. To mark the month, we’re sharing stories of breast cancer journeys.
Once Hanover was able to breastfeed Maggie herself, she had a big enough supply that she too started donating her breast milk. Carter, 34, also of Indianapolis, was diagnosed in March with stage 3B inflammatory breast cancer, a rare subtype of the disease. She noticed a lump in one breast while breastfeeding her youngest daughter, Rosie, then just 3 months old.
"I got all of the information at once, the cancer, the type and that I had to stop breastfeeding," she recalled."The thing that struck me immediately was the breastfeeding. I was devastated." In the months since that first donation, Hanover has donated hundreds of more ounces of breast milk to Carter, including some from Black, her fellow NICU nurse.
