Things change so quickly. In 2006 when I started chemo, I didn't know of anyone getting the TCH combo. Haven't there been studies that TCH is just as effective as AC/Taxol/Herceptin. If you can get the same results from TCH, I say avoid anthracyclines. Unless there are new studies out that recommend AC again. As I said, things seem to change from year to year.
