Re: nails falling off??

My fingernails all broke off about half way down and then fell off. I also lost both of my large toe nails. It was painful when it happened. I believe it was the Taxotere. I have been on Herceptin for over five years and Tykerb now for 16 months. My nails peel and I have them cut as short as possible. I was told not to wear artificial nails because of increased issues with infections. I used to wear gel nails and am considering trying them again.

Good luck with your treatment. Your nails will grow back but they probably won't be the same.
