Away for 3 days - breastfeeding help?

I'm BFing my 2yo DS, but I'm going away with work for 3 days this week and am not sure what will happen to my milk supply. Will I need to express to maintain supply or have I been BFing for so long I won't need to? Am I likely to be in pain if I don't express? I really don't want to risk mastitis etc.

Thanks very much!

I went away for work when DD1 was 21months although I did take my pump I didn't get overengorged at all. I thought it might be the end of breastfeeding (and DH hpped it would be) but after a reminder about milk when I got home she latched fine and fed for another six months ish.
