Hi everyone
I have invasive breast cancer grade 3 ER+ and HER negative. My first step was a lumpectomy and sentinel node biopsy and I get results on 16th July. Next step is chemo - they have told irrespective of whether lymph nodes are affected, due to my age (44) side and grade of tumor I will need a course of preventative chemo - likely to start August and I have been told it will be for 4-6 months (but obviously depends if I need further surgery).
The BCN told me to get up to date with dental work so I have been for check up and have had xrays etc. They will do a deep clean and replace a small filling, but they have also noticed a shadow under one of my my back molars and think it may be best to extract. We haven't made the decision yet as she said it depends on the type of chemo I am having as to whether dental work can be done - she said there is one type of drugs where it is a complete no no.
Does anyone know which drug would be likely for the above circumstance's - I am pre-menopausal. I have also been told I will need hormone therapy and need to take tablets for 5 years.
I know I will need to speak to my medical team before confirming all of this with the dentist but thought people may know more than me.
