I have had 3 months of chemotherapy followed by surgery and radiotherapy. My herceptin injections are still on-going since September 2021. Apart from the extreme fatigue caused by both chemo and radiotherapy, I now have splitting finger nails. When my chemo stopped there appeared a definite ridge in the thumb nails and where the ridge has appeared half way up the nail bed, the nail has split. The same thing has happened to my index finger. I am trying to stop it tearing across the rest of the nail as that will leave half the nail bed exposed. I have tried applying lashings of nail varnish which has helped a little but it's still lifting and tearing. Does anyone have any tips on how to retain the nail?
