I bit off all my nails even though they were beautiful and long and I'd started painting them black, so it's my own fault. I'm in Paris and it was advice given here too so it must be universal. The first time I had cancer i was horribly sick wit the chemo (strong advice to install a pillow on the bathroom floor), but this last time i had no sickness at all, only numbness/tingliness on my fingers and toes with Taxol for breast cancer. II lost a toe nail but it's grown back. I think the side effects are much less than they were as the new medications have advanced even in last few years and i really hope you'll sail through it too. Big hugs Sue xx
