Nails nearly a year on

Hi Young at heart.

I know chemo has a bad effect on nails but I don't think the metropolis does.

Have you tried opi nail envy. It has done wonders for my mum's nails. No cancer just rubbish nails. Boots stock it.

hi I have just started using it. I read some good reports on here a while back so I have filed what's left of them all down and started with my 2 coats. See how it goes. Thank you x

When you file your nails only file in one direction. Don't see saw the file backwards and forward . Try to use a glass file. I think mines Leighton Denny. I've had it so long I can't read the label. Keep your nails short and blunt until they get stronger. Use a good handcream on a night paying attention to cuticles. I love the Body shop hemp one. I love the smell. It's a bit much for during the day but luxurious for night. Put about a 5p blob on and it should be enough to go up your arms past the elbow. It's a bit dear but worth it. My husband uses the lidl one, it is good but doesn't have the smell. When you put your moisturiser on in a morning rub the extra into the backs of your hands, especially if it has sunscreen in it. 

Nobody has come up with a way to surgically improve hands, appearance wise, so protect them.

I finished chemo nearly a year ago, then radiotherapy  in February. I too am on letrazole. My nails are exactly as you describe. The ends of my fingers get sore and my nails just don’t grow. I can’t help, just wanted to say you are not alone! xx
