Hi @tdonelly2000,
Best be guided by your oncologist. When I had my first appointment I was told I had two options as well.

AC is a bit average to say the least but manageable. I had very few side effects with the Taxol. I drove there, had it done, drove home and continued on. No downtime on it at all.
6 months seems like such a long time when you are starting out but it really does pass a lot faster than what you expect.
All the best
