Re: Did anyone NOT lose hair OR nails on TCH protocol? All replies appreciated!

Best advice I was given for nails was - paint finger and toe nails with a dark nail varnish (not a gel or acrylic). Do this all the time when on chemo. I continued after chemo. A few nails were lost and some marked but majority ok. I think water based varnish and acetone free remover best. Has to be dark colour. My daughter liked to paint them for me!
I wore a scarf at first when hair started to change condition and then it just brushed out. I wore my wig for about 9 months until hair about 1/2-1" long. As I replaced the wigs I went shorter and shorter until I eventually plucked up the courage to go out without wig on! It did start to grow again before my last chemo! It grew back very thick and curly!!
I found nausea a bit of a problem - worse if I didn't eat. So had to eat little and often. Also carried mints with me all the time.
I am on Perjeta - worth asking about.
I was surprised how well I felt when on chemo!
