Hi Linda,
I'm 3 weeks past my Docetaxel/Cyclophosphamide. I'm going through the same thing. Nails look bruised, they feel very tender and two look as if they are lifting at the tip. Luckily the ones lifting are on my left hand and I'm right handed. I didn't do the black polish, instead I painted them with nail hardener, didn't take the old stuff off, just kept painting over and over. Don't know if this is thanks to nail hardener but they are not brittle nor splitting. I guess all I can do is wait and see what happens. Good luck all, take care, Ingrid x
