How advanced is the organic chemistry in biochem? IOW, will a student w/o advanced o chem knowledge do well?

I took 2 semesters of o chem during the summer, which was absolute torment. I have registered for biochem in the fall, but after hearing all of the horror stories, I am quite nervous. I got a B in o chem 1 and a B+ in o chem 2, but A’s in all of my other science classes, but I honestly don’t think that i can handle another class as difficult as o chem. (although I’m sure that the 5-week summer semester had something to do with it…) Thank you so much for your answers!
