Hi Sheryl,
I did 7 taxotere last year and had nail issues, not specifically hands. However, someone on this site said to take bags of frozen veges to put across the nails during infusion to cut the blood flow to that area, and perhaps decrease side effects. Seems to me this might work with the hand issue too.
Good luck. Taxotere can be rough but the good news is once done things do return to normal pretty quickly.
