I had AC, it is not easy, but I have heard TC is not either. As much as AC sucked, it killed all my cancer! I had complete pathological response.
Either way, you can do this! Chemo is not fun, but it is doable.
Good luck!

One should have an echocardiogram to check the heat first, but yes, there is a chance of heart damage

If youre in good health, you can tolerate AC dose dense and it is more effective. I had no problems. Tough but doable.
