Does order of chemo drugs matter?

Correction:
I'd asked a while back if the order of drugs given matter in the weekly infusions. The nurse at that time told me, no, doesn't matter with Abrax and Gemzar. So yesterday, a different nurse was delaying the infusions as she said we need the Abraxane first. I told her the other nurse had reported it didn't matter. I could tell this one was pretty certain she was right, but she called the pharmacist to make sure.... and yes, do the Abraxane first.
Just wanted to correct what I had reported before.

Thank you for the follow-up!

Mine had been delivered in alphabetical order (Abraxane, Cisplatin, Gemcitabine). Since dropping the Cisplatin, it's still Abraxane first, followed by Gem.

Interesting. I get the gem first. What’s the reason for the difference of order when they follow each other right after the other?
