@KylieG I had AC followed by TH. My oncologist sort of gave me the choice with AC but also said she recommended it. She said she was probably overtreating me, but I was happy with that decision at the time.
My treatment was done by a multidisciplinary team including her and my surgeon, radiation oncologist and a pathologist too, so I feel like that was a consensus decision. I also feel like its quite a common treatment for Her2 and Triple negative.

Good luck with your choice.
