Guess what!!! It was NOT fungus as the guy at the nail place was so sure about. Taxotere can make nails LOOK like they have a fungus, but is NOT fungus. Thank goodness!!! I had the confirmation from my oncology center that they look normal for taxotere. Several of my fingernails look like they are lifting off, but it doesn't look like it will be getting any worse. They feel ok and I will just wait for them to grow out.
