I did TCH. I lost my hair. My nails got severe damage - funny brown lines, ridges and very weak but they all held on. My last chemo was September 2014 and my nails are still weak but look ok. Also, my hair didn't start to grow back until I completed the year long Herceptin. The MO or nurses didn't mention that. My hair came back virtually the same as it was before chemo - just a little thinner still. Drink as much as you can while doing chemo. Try to find whatever tastes good. Green tea worked great for me.
