hi, thank you for your reply. The problem did not start until after my 2nd round but it was only light but after the 3rd round it got worse after about week.
Yes it is really annoying as I work in an office and have to use my hands all the time. I find it even hurts to hold the steering wheel. I tried to file my nails last nite and that was torture but couldn't stand seeing my nails look crap for 1 minute longer. I can't even use the finger scanner at work anymore as my hands are so dry the skin is now peeling (have tried all sorts of hand creams but they don't help) Today it also hurt to wear my shoes and I also do a lot of walking at work. I just hope the damage is not permanent or I will not be happy.
I told my Medical Oncologist and the nurses. I am taking a lot of naturopathic detox and mega doses of different vitamins but nothing has helped to counteract these side affects.
