I had crappy nails on Taxotere and Herceptin.
Like Pinky, these issues resolved after treatment.

I use 100% organic virgin coconut oil on my hands and feet (actually all over my body) and it helps immensely.
You only need a bit, but it goes a long way. Buy a jar at a health food store - a large jar costs $10 - $15 but will last for months.

all the best
