Re: nails falling off??
I don't know about taxotere, but AC definitely effects the nails. Mine turned black! They didn't fall off, but it might have been better if they had. Had to wait for them to grow out. I'm sure your nail problems are a side effect of all the chemo.
What did I do for relief? antidepressants and xanax!
As for the nails, I didn't do anything except hand cream and watching out for infection.
