Dear Tasia.
My oncologist always wanted to know if I had PN symptoms.
He said he would be happy to give less or finish early, monitoring PN. He was very happy for me to get past 75%
Luckily I didn't get PN. And completed 12 sessions.
I did get nail symptoms. Some brown spots. And the white part of fingernails, went deeper into the pink part.
Fingernails now normal, 5mths after Taxol.
I don't know if the use of nail polish would change outcome or just hide it.
My large toenails have receded, and I'm not sure how they will end up.
I wasn't worried about nails and how they would end up, enough to stop Taxol.
But I would seriously monitor for PN, to be prepared to stop or reduce for PN.
