Hello I was diagnosed in March 22 with breast cancer and had a mastectomy in April. As the cancer was HERS chemotherapy followed and I did find it horrible after the 5th day for about a week then I recovered. I finished my last chemo ar the end of November and now my nails on both hands and feet are starting to lift off. Has anyone had this and how did you cope? I’d really appreciate you sharing your experience with me. Thanks. I am 73 years old.
