Bruised Nails
I have been having Taxol (last dose yesterday) and the girls at oncology recommended that I have my nails painted black to prevent the splitting etc. I removed the nail polish today so that I could freshen it up and noticed that several of my nails were bruised, which would explan the very painful fingers. Has anyone else experienced this? Any hints? I really don't want my nails to fall off.

- It was just after my treatment finished and it was so off my radar. By the time I realised I had a problem, it was too late, my arm was aching and things went downhill from there. However two years on my lymphedema under control and I don't wear my garment nearly as much. So good on you for getting antibiotics ASAP. I think lymphedema is often missed until it is too late, so look after that arm especially any cuts, scratches etc. good luck with your nails. Paula
