Taxol/Gemcitabine

My ONC has suggested this as Taxol alone is not dong the job. Is anyone else on this and what are the results
I have mets in my bones and liver and axilla/lymph. The Taxol is working on the lymph but not the rest and my blood results are getting better so the whole picture is very confusing. Sound familiar!!
ONC says the results are as good as Avastin/Taxol but I am not sure
I seem to be going round and round in circles and its terrifying
Would love to hear your comments
