TAC or Dose Dense (AC-T)

Options

my mom had mastectomy on 9/26.

IDC, Stage II, ER+, HER2 -, 6/21 nodes +, Grade 1

Here are the treatment options:

TAC - every 3 weeks (6 treatments)

OR

Dose Dense - AC every 2 weeks (4 treatments) AND Taxol weekly for 12 weeks 

 Which regimen would you recommend??? I have heard that people tolerate the Dose Dense better. Any experiences to share?????

With both regimens, she is advised to take Neupogen shots for 8 days starting on day 3 after each chemo treatment.  Is Neulasta (which is only taken once after each treatment) an option for her??? SHould I ask doctor for Neulasta instead???

She will also have radiation therapy and then will take Arimidex for 5 yrs.

Any advice, experience, opinions are welcome. Please help me with my question. Thank you and wish you all well.
