Harrie, I completed chemo in Feb 07; however, I still have nails that are splitting. They are far better than they were back when I was on Taxol, but it sounds like you have been successful with the splitting as well. When on chemo, they turned black and red, and I had to be placed on antibiotics. My Nickname was "Gothis Barbie. Where do you purchase "tree tea oil?"
Also, I agree with the other gals. My port was not working properly, and one of the Nurses got in the Oncologist's face until he scheduled the surgery to have it replaced. Second port works like it should.
