I had a combo of Taxol and Carboplatin for ovarian cancer and had very little side effects other than the usual hair loss and extreme fatigue. A little nausea and metalic tast for a couple of days but no vomiting.

My experience with this drug was better than I expected. I had no nausea, tiredness-yes but rest was essential. I had a longer time getting my white cell count back but with a shot of Neulasta it improved greatly.

Some skin sensitivity, nausea, vomiting, and ringing in the ears. Nothing that was severe though. Single treatment following orchiectomy to reduce likelihood of reoccurrence.
