New To BCNA

hi thats great to hear... my nails too have been the best that I've ever had too I'm on my 8th taxel and they are just starting to weaken now but i have got black marks.

i feel you on the tv i have watch so many tv series i could be a qualified reviewest lol

all the best xox

Hi Kat,

my McGrath nurse advised dark nail polish. My nails are the best they have ever been, this chemo is a strange thing! I just finished 4 cycles of TC. I have worn cold gloves at chemo and haven't touched hot water since I started, lucky it is summer. When I change the polish they look a little yellow but still strong. My skin has become sun sensitive but I am not up to walking around at present so I keep cool and watch far too much daytime TV. 

Keep well

Kim

Thanks Kat. Starting to get a little nervous, tonight. 

Hi Kat, glad your doing ok, I'm pretty sure the black in the nails is from sunlight, keep them covered with dark nail polish. I'm doing ok started radiation treatment today so 1 down 29 more to go but who's counting lol take care keep in touch , Glynnis ????

R you doing 12 wks of taxol?

I hope everything has been traveling good so far. I've been really good thru treatment but I do find Taxol soooooooo much easier of course still little bumps in the rd but  nothing major.

I absolutely agree there's nothing more comforting than finding ppl on the same path 

Goodluck for your future treatment I hope it's pretty smooth sailing ??

Yay for finishing your chemo cycle n good luck for your op.

Xxx Kat

Hi and welcome Kat.  I've just finished my 4 of AC and start taxol in a couple of weeks so can't help you with the taxol question.  I'm just hoping the taxol is easier than the AC.  Welcome it's a wonderful group here.  Yes it is a hard journey and whilst I also have fabulous family and friends I think only those that have travelled the road really can support whilst understanding how it affects us much love 

Hi Kat, I've had different treatment, so can't comment on that. I finished 6 cycles of chemo 3 weeks ago, and will have surgery on Friday. My last 3 cycles were Docetaxel, and that has certainly affected my nails, almost certain I'm going to lose at least one fingernail, ??. It affects all of us so differently.

Keep smiling, Lyn

Hi Rowdy.

Thank you so much for your welcome.

Yes my family are awesome n support me so much.

There's one thing they can't help with n that's emotionally.

I'm so glad to be on here. Thanks again xx
