Side Effects from Chemo

Don't panic! It is variable but mostly it's short term. I lost most of my body and head hair, not very fine downy hair (remember that chemo targets fast growing cells) but pubic hair, undearm hair, leg hair, yes and eyebrows and eyelashes. But there's a positive - no waxing or shaving! Dark nail varnish may protect nails - I didn't use anything and my fingernails got a few fine ridges and a very slight discolouration that no-one but me would have noticed. Toenails not so good. The layers of nail split and expanded and eight went black, brown, grey or chalk white. Didn't lose any and two remained completely normal. Go figure! Oh and no nausea, no fatigue, no chemo brain. It's a lottery! Best wishes
