Anyone else doing just TC?

Howdy -- I'm 46 years old and in beautiful Boulder, CO.  After a double mastectomy on Sept. 12 (went well), port surgery on Oct. 8 (which went badly), I started chemo 9 days ago.  With the rough port surgery, and then a strange complication that resulted in an ER visit 3 days ago, I'm not exactly bouncing back from the chemo, despite being in very healthy physical condition prior to all this. 

I chose TC rather than TAC despite being node positive (2 nodes).  80% of the cancer was non-invasive, and it seemed to me the risks of the adriamycin at least equaled the small increased risk of recurrence when comparing TC and TAC.  

I know that most people get TAC, but wondered if there are other node positive folks out there who chose TC.  I'm getting 6 cycles if all goes as planned.
