Baby not taking breast milk

Question

Asked for Female, 34 Years

My 3.5 month old baby is not taking breast milk. I have a low milk supply from the very start itself. But I used to breast feed my baby 3/4 timesand also gave him formula. Now he rejects my milk. It causes me grief and a constant fear of breast cancer due to not breastfeeding. Please advice me.
