Hi everybody-just a real quick question from me, the worrywart. I finished A/C in July and am now on Herceptin every week(and have a mini port). Is it ok to go for a dental cleaning. Do I need to take antibiotics prior to a dental visit? I appreciate your responses very much(even more than my doctors-haha). Thanks and take care!
