I had the TCH regieme. It seemed the treatment of choice. I dont recall being given options. I have heard that AC is a bit rougher to tolerate but I am no expert.
The best thing to do is have your onc outline the pros and cons and his/her reasoning. And have someone else with you to help hear the answers!!!
A Becky said, you will probably have alot more questions for us once your treatment plan is in place and running. We will be here for you.
