Is it permissible for me to marry my paternal cousin, knowing that my paternal grandmother (my father's mother) breastfed me?

If the questioner's grandmother breastfed him five times or more within the first two years of his life, he becomes a brother to his father and paternal uncles, and an uncle to his paternal uncles' daughters. Thus, marriage to them becomes forbidden for him.
