Having just completed my first 4 chemo treatments of AC, I must admit to being envious that you get 6 while I get 8.
I'm out in BC - and I've learned that the choice of chemo is also dependent on the breast cancer type. I'm sure that the ON oncologists are on top of the latest protocols (I know the BC ones are), so don't worry that it's changed!
