I have now had 4 rounds of Carbo/Taxol and one round of Taxol alone due to a reaction to the Carboplatin (painless flushing/rash). I haven't had any side effects as far as nausea or anything else. In fact I don't even take Zofran after the treatments anymore. Of course I went in in good health with no other concerns such as yourself. My MO did say they were a much better option versus Cisplatin as far as side effects go.
Best,
