Yikes! AC or TCH chemo?
Just had my first visit with the oncologist today. I have been given the choice between 6 months of AC chemo (plus Herceptin after the first 3 months), or a 4 month course of TCH (non-anthracycline) ...

Hi Kristye,
Sorry to hear you have to go through this. I did TCH and have just finished the chemo, and have started radition and have another 7 treatments of Herceptin to go, only you can make the choice my friend. I started herceptin with my 2nd round of Docetaxel, and now I am having it on its own it is very easy.
This is the best network for any information you need, it was my go to place when I was diagnosed, everyone has different side affects to chemo and the best advise I could give you is ask your oncologist questions about anything that worries you and your chemo nurses are a wealth of information, it also helps if you take a family member or friend with you to your appointments cause they will remember things you won't and its nice to have company also. Take one step at a time as not to get to overwhelmed and remember we are all here for you ??
