Dear kr:  Ductal lavage is typically used on women who are at higher than average risk of breast cancer.  Since you have a previous diagnosis of breast cancer, you would be in that category.  Ductal lavage is not used for diagnosis but may help to identify changes in the cells within the ducts.  In order to be a candidate for ductal lavage, there must be some nipple discharge, either spontaneous or through breast massage.
