I am meeting with my oncologist tomorrow to decide upon my chemotherapy regimen/treatment. I have come up with a pretty good list of my own but was wondering if you wonderful women out there have any suggestions. I am a bit scared because of my Oncotype score -- 60. I have not seen anyone here that has that high of a score. Also, the Dr. is telling me that I can do either AC-TH or TCH. Is one better than the other?

DCIS , non-invasive - 9/22/08
ER +, PR+
lumpectomy - 10/15/08
hysterectomy, oopherectomy - 10/15/08
2 nodes removed - negative
only one of six clean margins
Mastectomy/ DIEP reconstruction - 12/11/08
Invasive cancer found, 2 cm
