Crying over spilled (dumped) milk

Yesterday, I had a biopsy done on a lump in my right breast that has not gone away with massage or heat (no fever, not painful). They used lidocaine and told me to dump everything from that breast for 24 hours.

Its been 21 hrs.  The half-life looks like 2 hours, so after 4 or 5 HLs (or 10hrs), I'd think it should be fine.  Also, I don't think the remaining 3 hours really will make a difference.

Besides, I'm tired of dumping it. It makes me sad every time I pour it down the drain.

Has anyone else had a biopsy and were given lidocaine? How quickly did you go back to BFing or using milk from the side with lidocaine?

    I personally havent gone thru this (biopsy stuff) but I know how it feels to "waste" milk. Twice now DH and I have accidentally left out a bag of milk that I pumped during the day at work - I cried both times!
    I really dont drink bc I dont want to pump and dump, it just seems like a huge waste.

    I hope everything goes well for ya mama. GL!

    DH spilt a few oz of what I pumped when he was making bottles for the sitter and I lost it on him.  I'm going to blame in on exhaustion from going back to work and hormones 0:)

    By the way, I hope everything comes back OK with the biopsy!  And on the bright side, at least it is only one of the girls that you have to dump!

    Thanks. I'm just sad my right side produces 2x as much as my left. ://

    TBH, I'm not too worried about it being anything bad.  It was deep in the tissue so my midwife couldn't really feel how mobile it was, hence the ultrasound and follow-up biopsy.  However, because my mother has ovarian cancer, I put a priority on anything strange.

    I hear ya on dumping...with DS 1 our freezer was left ajar while we were out of town and I lost my entire stash--well over 300 oz. I SOBBED in bed and DH had to dump it. I couldnt bear to do it myself  I've still never been so devastated ....
