After being diagnosed with breast cancer, I was advised to ask my dentist if I had needed any dental work as I will have a bone strengthening treatment. I need to have a tooth removed and the dentist wanted to know what the medication was going to be and when it will start. As soon as I found out (Zometa 4mg to start in a few months), I called the surgery and left the details and ask to speak to the dentist. It took 2 weeks to hear back from them (I understand that I am not their only patient) only to be told that as I have now started my chemotherapy (EC treatment which is every 3 weeks) I need to be referred to the hospital. This is really frustrating as I tried to get it sorted before anything started. Anyway, what is done is done. I assume I will have antibiotics so how is that going to impact my EC treatment? Is the treatment going to be delayed? As it is on the NHS, it will probably take a while to get done but what is the best time to have it done? Thank you for any advise..
