Hi no problem 😊 By the way if you are struggling to open things like cans etc. My husband found this handy little gadget on Amazon that meant I didn't have to rely on other people to open things for me whilst I didn't have finger nails. It's called NHS Healthcare can ring puller. Life saver! 😊 Really hope your nails grow back as quickly as possible for you Sunflower dinkle 😊

Hi please don't worry they will grow back! 😊 i completely understand what you are saying, I was mortified when they came off one by one, I ended up losing all finger and toe nails. I ended my chemo on the 19th may, during the course of June I started to lose each nail one by one 😞 The beginning of july I started to take perfectil max daily and now at the beginning of October all my nails are back and only 3 of my fingernails have the chemo discolouration. just keep hanging in there, to be honest looking back now, I was less stressed when they came off but completely understand that it's certainly not what you are thinking now! just keep thinking that they will grow back and you will get lovely nails when they grow back 😊

Hi i finished my chemo back in May and radiotherapy on the 18th August. Just wanted to share with everyone amazing supplements my husband found for me to take to promote new hair and nails growth (all finger and toenails fell off shortly after finishing my chemo) for or my hair I have took since the beginning of July one capsule per day of inositol and three capsules of flaxseed oil. For my nails perfectil max 3 capsules per day, i also believe this helped my skin through my radiotherapy. my hair is growing back lovely and thick and strong and my nails including my toenails have now grown back fully. I am only left with three of my fingernails that has the god awful yellow stain at the tip of the nail. really hope it helps someone else 😊 Sunflower dinkle x

hi After all your advice, i am finally near the end of radiotherapy treatment on Thursday and have booked to go away mid September on a much need holiday to Portugual. i have just gone into full panic and released that my passport photo is very different due to the hair loss from chemo that ended in May. I am planning to wear a headscarf in the airport but realised that they may ask me to take it off going through security which is filling me with dread! Any advice would be appreciated,do I need to get a letter from my go or oncologist to explain my hair loss and perhaps get it translated to Portuguese? Do they make you take your headscarf off going through security at Manchester airport? Thanks in advance!

Hi Sorry to hear that you scalp is very sore, although I didn't use the cold cap myself (the cap didn't fit!) I would recommend aveeno body lotion (skin relief contains Shea butter) your scalp. I use it daily on my scalp and have found it very soothing and non greasy. hope it helps karen

Thanks for coming back to me, I know just need to be patient 😀 I went and saw my beautician yesterday and she has told me about a weird tip for reviving my nails that are remaining... Wait for it .... But Vicks vapour rub on them once in the morning and again at night, just a very small amount behind my nails and I will notice the difference.! Completely agree losing every bit of my hair on my body and getting through the painful muscle and joint pain that docetaxel brings, experiencing periphal neuropathy in both hands, my nails should be the last thing, however I was having real trouble gripping properly and couldn't quite believe how much I depended on them to pick things up and to get a good grip of something Anyway next stop radiotherapy, my planning appointment on Monday another 10 weeks of treatment ....!
