I always wear nail polish on my toes, whatever the season so I may not have realised any change in appearance to the toe nails over the last few weeks. Recently, I have been experiencing pain in both my big toenails. It appears now that the toenail is lifting slightly from the nailbed. Although I did finish chemo quite a few weeks ago, apparently it is still in your system for a while and the effect on the nails at a later stage is not unusual.
I am not too sure whether the nail will actually come off like it has for many people. Wearing sandals during winter is not ideal but it might become too painful to wear shoes. Hopefully it won't start on my fingernails, otherwise it will be like a scene from The Fly! I guess it has come as a little shock as I was hoping things will start growing back weeks several post treatment rather than still losing bits here and there.
