Acrylic nails during chemo

hi, am being advised not to have acrylics during chemo because nail condition gets poor and there is infection risk.  My nails already poor due to 20years with acrylics.  I don't want to take risks but have others experience of keeping acrylics on? I have just had 1st of 6 cycles... 

  • Hi I have been battling cancer for a year now and have had operations and 2 courses of chemotherapy through all of this I kept me acrylics going, I have just had them done again yesterday and I start radiotherapy next week, please pamper yourself don't give up the things you enjoy doing. lots of luck xxx
