Hi All,
I have finished my chemo 3EC and 3 Docetaxel 6 weeks ago and now my finger nails are lifting. I was wondering if anyobe knows what type of cream is best to apply on them. I have been advised to use nail strengthener cream but not sure which one is good. Thanks xx
I lost my only finger nail 6-8 weeks after finishing chemo. I used organic cream on my hands. Please be aware of infection. Bizarrely in January 2019 I broke a nail (4years after chemo) and its only been in the last month that its growing back.. I'd advise speaking to a chemo nurse for information on creams to use
