Lindy Jo,

My onc is like many on the board who doesn't do scans unless there are symptoms.

I didn't loose my toe nails, but they became thick and pulled away very deep in the cuticle. I did loose all of my fingernails. Some of them are stilled pulled away and I have been finished with chemo since Nov. 05. I think Herceptin effected them also and I have only been finished with it since Sept. 06.
