Re: Splitting nails

Just wanted to say that I am trying the Evonail and although it is pretty expensive, it seems to be something that will be quite helpful. I have been on Herceptin for almost 5 1/2 years and my nails are very weak and break very easily even though I keep them short. I'm impressed so far with this product since it seems to provide a strong cover to my nails that will likely help with the breaking and splitting. A little goes a long way so the bottle should last for quite awhile.

Small tumor detected on chest wall during routine scan. 2/2010 surgery to remove tumor, started Herceptin/Tykerb, follow up radiation. [*]12/26/2010 - Off Tykerb due to allergic reaction[*]12/16/2014 - Have continued on Herception for almost 5 years now and remain NED. Discussion with onc re adding Perjeta to the Herceptin as another way of preventing recurrence. Still in discussion phase. 12/26/14 Onc applying for approval for Perjeta.
Perjeta approved and I received one infusion. It had an immediate impact to my lungs and I experienced difficulty breathing so.....I'm going to be sticking with just Herceptin. Still looking for a good vaccine program to enroll in.
