Hi Maria
I used a nail hardener when I had the taxol and I had no real problems with my nails. Had a lot of ridges on them which are now nearly grown out and under the nails had some strange flaking. I wore the - 32degree gloves every time so am not sure what helped but got away relatively unscathed.
Your hair won't fall out until about day 16. I used baby shampoo the whole time I was bald and up until a week ago when I used " real" shampoo again. I have lots of short tight curls now! (last chemo was Dec 9th).
Good luck with the rest of your treatment and hope you stay well.
