Hi Flori, I'm so sorry that you are having to switch some gears. I had carbo with taxol for 8 months last year/this year and I really felt that the carbo was no big deal. the taxol was also doable, but knowing taxanes pretty well, I felt as though my main complaints were from the taxol. And I have seen a number of people on gemzar alone and in combinations and they have done very well. I'm so hoping all of this will be true for you. Keep us posted and know we are all here for you.
