I would place the blame on the taxotere, so hopefully you can count on a speedy recovery.

I was on taxotere and AFTER chemo was complete, I had an infection in my finger and had to have the nail removed. Emotionally the timing was a real blow...I was done with chemo...I was moving on...

A word of encouragement...the nails grew out and no longer lifted which was the root cause for the infection.


I've been on herceptin for 1 1/2 and have had no further nail issues.
