finger nails query
Hi ladies, just wondering if anyone had problems with their nails after chemo? I am 3 weeks after my last chemo and I have stated to notice my finger nails lifting from the skin. They did become quite...

My finger nails had a distinct ridge across them. I think this was because the nail had died during the chemo and then started to grow again when chemo stopped. The dead top part of my nails were not strong at all and broke off easily. As the nail started to grow again the dead, top part was discoloured badly and I could not ripp things up or apart easily. However, I did not loose any finger nails. I did, however, loose my two big toe nails. This was not painful, just unsightly. My big toe nails simply died from top to bottom, then as the new nail started to grow once I had stopped chemo it pushed the old nail up and off ~ they were a little bit tender at first.
Hoping you don't loose your nails, Ann
