hI
I also had nail issues on taxotere. In fact the nail on my big toe separated and bleed, the other just lifted slightly but looked really bruised.I suggested to a couple of others to put tape round their big toe at night so it didn't catch on the bedsheets. I believe this worked for them.
Now 6 months later my nails are back to looking normal though they break and split easier.
I also got a red facial rash on taxotere so stayed out of the sun and it faded. i guess I should have realised this may happen as I was also very sensitive to sunlight.
Hope this helps
Ellie
