Which Chemotherapy

I had an invasive ductal carcinoma, histologic grade11 with lymphovascular invasion identified.  Turmor size 2.3  Sentinel lymph node was negative.  It is ER/PR positive. After a lumpectomy and a re-excision the margins were clear.  I now have to start chemotherapy and later radiation.  However, I have been given a choice either 6 months of Cyclophosphamide (14 days on and 14 days off) and Flourouracil with Methotrexate on the 1st and 8th day.  Or, 8 weeks taking Cyclophosphamide and Docetaxel every 2 weeks for four cycles.  I have no way to judge what the difference in these treatments would be as far as side effects.  I am told they are both equally effective.  So I'm having a hard time making a decision.  Can you help?
