I am doing option #2 now. If you google UCLA, Jonsson Cancer Center (sp), and Herceptin you will probably find the study that was recently completed at UCLA which rates the TCH just as effective as the AC, with less chance for cardio toxicity. You may be able to find the old thread on this site as well. Best of luck with all your decisions, there are many, but the women on this site will be a great source of info for you.
