A standard chemotherapy treatment option for breast cancer after surgery (adjuvant therapy) is docetaxel + cyclophosphamide (TC). This study looks at a different schedule for giving the same adjuvant chemotherapy so that treatment can be completed faster (in 8 weeks rather than 12 weeks). This study uses a growth factor drug, pegfilgrastim, to help build blood cells that are lowered because of chemotherapy, making it possible to receive TC treatment every 2 weeks (referred to as "dose dense TC" or "ddTC") instead of the standard 3 week schedule. The main study procedures are blood draws, chemotherapy treatment, physical exams, and pegfilgrastim injections.
