Please keep in mind while on full chemo treatment the concern of infection. My onc. did not advise it. No cutting of the cuticles. While most establishments are clean (hopefully) it is vital that is it correctly sanitized.
If you must, at least have your own cutters and equipment that you boil and clean and are used only on you.
Pedicure tubs must be cleaned and sanitized. I had received an infection after a pedicure and I was not on chemo. So select carefully the establishment and do tell them you are on chemo. Ladies we have to be careful even in the kitchen while cutting foods and preparing meals. I had a small cut while preparing and chopping, I didn't think it was deep enough to need stitches but my husband insisted I see the dr. The cut had to be flushed and cleaned, the dr. was concerned since I was on chemo. So please don't take this lightly and only consider the esthetic value. The immune system is challenged during chemo.
