Sorry to hear about your surgery. Ask your Urologist about the roll of chemotherapy after surgery. I would recover first then worry about doing chemotherapy later.

As far as your choice in 2 different lines of chemotherapy;
I would do the TCH as it is shown to be safer than AC. There is much information out there on the TCH combination. The Adriamycin is more cardio toxic than other chemotherapys. I have posted some web links for you to see the role of these drugs. Also a link about the Topo II test; this is a test where you send off tumor to see if it would respond to Adriamycin.

Here is a web link that show TCH outperformed AC and TH.

Here is web link to an article that talks about the test called TOPO II
If you have TOPO II amplification you are likely to respond to Adriamycin.

I wish you the best of Luck.
