Re: Acrylic nails
Hello,
I was told by me treatment team to bring my own set of tools if I chose to have a mani/pedi. Stay away from the strip mall/factory line type of salons. I go to a salon in town and have told the ladies that whereas I am no longer on chemo per se I still take meds. They had no knowledge of metastic disease. Stay away from anyone who would cut your cuticles; the skin and nail bed is too fragile. I found that a nail hardener plus the polish protect my nails.
HTH,
Jackie
