I fogot to add anything about my finger nails. Don't know if this helped, but I used a bag of frozen peas on each hand to protect my finger nails from the Taxotere. I did not use it when I was just on Herceptin. My nails became soft, while on Herceptin, but I did not lose any nor did they become discolored. I never had good nails to begin with!
I did have male pattern baldness--and eventually as it was growing in after Taxotere, I think I probably lost all my hair, but it is doing very well right now. Thick and curly. Boy I had my fingers crossed on that one!
