Hi there @Koukla I had the nail issue and found the acrylic ones put on for about 3 months and that helped heaps stopped them from chipping and breaking away them swapped to the gel polish which I still have done now 14 months later. I only have one dodgy looking nail left and that’s almost grown out now. I got the neuropathy only I my hands and after the last dose of taxol oct last year and it lasted til around July this year and they were more stiff than anything and we’re better once they were warmed up. And as for the bloating I didn’t have that but had awful reflux with taxol which I’d never had before and has to take double doses of nexium but I also had some sensitivity to some foods as my taste was affected and that sometimes caused me to feel blah and bloated/gassy so I took nexium and coloxyl and senna and that worked a treat and ate pretty bland food too which helped.
