Hi looeeze,
I like to think of these chemo drugs as KFC combo packs! They just combine 2 chemo infusions to give give maximum impact. So TC is Taxotere (has other names) and Cyclophosphamide.And AC is as @sister said,Adriamycin and cyclophosphamide.Your oncologist decides on which combo and discusses it with you. The side effects are awful for all of them!
