Great information! I met women in the chemo room who were ahead of me in treatment also, and they gave me priceless advice and encouragement. Thank you for including a link to her blog.
Well, just paper-thin nails and very low white blood cell count. My nails split down the middle at the slightest tap, or they chip off. I took a biotin blend for so long but it didn’t help at all, and I use hardening nail polish that leaves my nails just as soft as they were. And nothing I do increases my WBC. Would love to hear what you do or did about those issues. Thank you so much!
Thank you, Stachia! Grateful for this page Gerri started so we can all help each other out. Sorry about your nails and WBC - I wish I could help, haven't come up against that. Have you talked to your oncologist about it? I'm sure there are tips and tricks out there for sure. Hang in there and thanks for reading!
Thank you so much for reaching out, Deb. Yes, he told me to take biotin supplements but it hasn’t helped at all. My nails are continually splitting down the middle. I use a nail repair kit that makes my nails look horrible.
