Hi all,
i am new to this site, and seeking advice.
On 18 May I had my first (and subsequently last) encounter with Docetaxel. During week following treatment I had a rather bad reaction to it and further treatment was stopped.
Many side effects ensued, after only one dose I lost all of what hair remained after previous 3 cycles of FEC, the skin on my hands and feet came off in hideous great chunks, along with many physical impairments and failures. All of these are well on way to recovery but the one remaining area of concern is fingernails! Shortly after the Docetaxel a ridge (for want of a better way to describe it) form across the nails near the cuticle. The ridge is gradually growing out with nails however they are now lifting and it looks as though I might lose all my nails completely bleurgh!!!! Not ideal when one spends most of the day typing for a living
I keep nails as short as poss so as not to catch them on anything and rip them off, and I moisturise them with almond oil.
has anyone else experienced this and been able to prevent the nails lifting off?
Advice would be most welcome indeed.
