Hi -
If you can scan down the posts you will find a couple of strings on the subject of Gemzar. You may have to go back a few pages.
I took Taxol for something like 27 treatments along with Navelbine and Herceptin. This much Taxol should have given me major neuropathy. I kept taking my B12, folic acid and other things that nourish nerve cells the whole time and have minimal problems with nerve damage.
Clinical trials can be good (one saved my life) and I would check out Gemzar on the net as this was originally approved for colon or other cancers. With some good successes they are expanding the use to other cancers.
All the best wishes for your Mom's successful treatment whichever you choose.
