A Pain in ....the fingernails!
Day 8 - after round six.
Woke in the middle of the night with searing fingernail pain! It felt like they were going to pop right off! I've never experienced anything like it before......
On close...

Chemo sucks to the utmost. I don't know if my advice will help but here goes....
Keep your fingernails and toenails short and the ridges will grow out. Take Hair Skin and Nails supplement (Swisse) and it will help your nails recover. It does take time. Massage your scalp with Moroccan oil, and it will be good for your scalp. Rinse your mouth out with salty water and gently clean your teeth after meals.
Definitely take pain relief (panadol and panadeine mixed ) and ring the oncology unit. I am concerned about your facial numbness.
Warm packs to your back and sit, sit, sit.
It will pass Honey, I do hope that you have people around you that can help with housework and daily chores.
Ive been there Honey...it will pass.
Sending you a big cuddle, Trace ????????
