Nails after chemo

Offline

Hi

I finished radiotherapy and chemotherapy at the end of August and over the Christmas period my toe nails have started to fall off. I know that this is likely due to the chemo but I was wondering if this is just a one time thing or will it keep happening?

Thanks in advance

  • Hello haylzz

    I'm sorry to hear that despite finishing chemo and radiotherapy a few months ago your toenails have recently fallen off. 

    It's difficult to say if this will be a one-time thing or if it will happen again. Hopefully others who have experienced the same issue will post to share their experiences with you. 

    If you want to chat things through with one of our nurses you're welcome to call them on 0808 800 4040, Monday to Friday 9 am to 5 pm. 

    Best wishes,
