Hi Robyn,
Turns out, issues with finger and toe nails are quite common while being treated with certain chemotherapy drugs.
BCNA developed some good info on this issue, which you can find on our website here - http://www.bcna.org.au/new-diagnosis/treatment/chemotherapy/nail-changes
The info includes practical tips from other women to help you get by.
Oh, and you might find these blog posts by other women useful...
