Wink Tidbit for soft nails

My onc nurse recommended using Sally Hanson Hard as Nails to strengthen nails during my chemo. I continue to keep on my nails (toes and fingers!) as I do herceptin/chemo. Nails are strong so far!

This remedy was recommended in the 'old days' of chemo therapy to keep nails from softening and/or falling out.

I have used Sally Hanson hard as nails the entire time I was on chemo and I must say that my nails are probably the only healthy thing on my body. My nails are very storng and grow very fast!
