Nails
I was having some nail problems and it looked worst after my 6th TCH tx. Since then I have been on H only and it has been maybe 4 or 5 times. My nails have IMPROVED dramatically. They were really bad...discoloration, lifting, junk underneath top of nail...I thought I had a fungus! But my oncologist said it was just from my chemo and recommended I use tea tree oil. I put it on my nails every night and since then the deterioration of my nails stopped and they look 100% better and feel 100% stronger. If anyone is interested in seeing what my nails looked like before, email me and I can send you a closeup pic.
