One thing I did do during chemo was to ice my hands and feet and have had no nail loss and minimal tingling. I would recommend doing this if you can. My hospital had an ice dispenser in the staff pantry which I was allowed to access and I brought my own bowls. Make sure you accept offerings of meals , as these come in handy big time!
