Hello and welcome to OCF! Sorry to hear about your friend, especially regarding the need to pull her teeth before chemo & radiation.
I, too, am a two-time BC survivor, but this OC is a different demon altogether, I have found.
Please convey best wishes to your friend as she begins this journey, and stay with us if you will. There is much to learn and share!
