chemo affect on nails?
Comments

It's the taxol that affects the nails. Mine after two treatments look about the same but are softer and split easily.bdean said:Mine do not grow very well and split too easily. A lady I know lost her toenails during chemo. Another lady showed me hers the other day and they had all 'died', but new growth was already beginning. So they will grow back just like the hair.
God bless you,

I ate A LOT of jello during the AC - so much that I can't even think of jello during the taxol. This time it's ice cream!! :-)0 -
WOW, so this is not uncommon and accdg to my support group. I had my last chemo Feb. 12 and after May 12 when I did the Revlon Walk my two big toes HURT for a day or two. I thought it was because of exercising. I polished my nails and didn't see these huge BLACK spots until I took the polish off a week ago. This is reassuring I guess. It's kinda gross, looks like my toes are dirty.0
