Chemo - they have left the decision up to me

I got my final path results back and they found a 0.8 of a mm spot of malignancy.  They are advising me to have chemo but have left the decision up to me - I have decided to have it.

The second decision is what type of chemo to have - I have an appoinment to get more information next week, but from what I have been told so far there are two types (I can't remember the names) - the ugly one, and the not so ugly one.  Has anyone been in a similar situation?

I am under a gyn/onc - and very glad that I am as they might not have found this microscopic part of the cyst if I wasn't.  It is Stage 1C.  I am seeing the chemo specialist next week so will have more information on the types available but yes basically I think they offer it to me and I can choose what I want to do - what a fun decision!
