ATC v TC Chemo 2 Different Opinions perhaps a 3rd opinion?

I'm on the fence about chemo as I'm stage 1 no nodes 1.2 cm TN non BRCA. 

First oncologist said 5 mos of TC treatments every 3 weeks and won't use the A drug because it causes heart problems.  Second oncologist wants to do all 3.

I didn't like either oncologist and want a third opinion since I have to see this person for years.  First oncologist said if I didn't start treatment within 3 mos of surgery she wouldn't see me ever again. 

The delay was getting an appt with the second oncologist who came highly recommended. 

The second one, didn't spend much time and like the first didn't want to address my concerns.  He also misrepresnted my pathology when I asked for additional TN subtype testing and told me it was done.  I verified that only the hormone recepter determination was done and no more by my breast surgeon a/k/a Blueprint and Mamoprint.

Hope someone out there will pipe on for TN.  Thanks.
