Need advice re taxotere

I had DCIS and IDC in Dec. of 2006. Had a lumpectomy, .9 cm tumor, no lymph node involvement. I am er+, pr+, and her2 positive. Went through radiation first, as my onc didn't think I would need chemo. Did the oncotype DX test, and it came back showing I had a high rate of recurrence, so he recommended four doses of A/C. Just finished that on May 23rd. Got a second opinion, as my first onc wasn't sure I needed herceptin, and I definitely felt I did. He has agreed to give that to me, along with femarra or arimidex.

The question is, the second onc said I could take four doses of taxol to increase my odds. My onc said he would use taxotere instead of taxol. So, I am trying to decide if I should do that. I would appreciate any input anyone can give.
