Hi Leslie, I didn't deal with bad nails like you are , mine just got dry and they kept breaking. Now the neuropathy, I still have. My feet are the worst. I have to take a pain pill when they get real bad. My hands go numb at night and that makes me wake up. I went to specialists and they wanted to put me on Neuronton or Lyrica and I can't tolerate those pills. They make me sick. I think I'll try B6 as Elaine suggested. Congratulations on completing your chemo!!!! Mary L
