Hi girls,
I went to my dentist today to have a tooth removed. We have talked about the chemo that is aboaut to start and I asked him about oral hygiene and what can be done to "help any possible decay or mouth issues while on chemo. He gave me a prescription for PREVIDENT5000 Booster... a Colgate toothpaste with a booster of floride to help with mouth bacteria. Hope this info helps any one experiencing dental difficulties. Also highly recommended Biotene mouthwash.

And yes I will be receiving herceptin, taxotere and carboplatin for my cocktail
