nails
I was on Taxotere for 3 months. Cisplatin and etopocide prior to that.
My hair went first. My nails got real brital and cracky but never fell off.
I guess I can see that happening. I know of people being on taxotere for alot
longer than I was, never saw that happen. Don't know about gemzar.0 -
