@lizas.health.diar: Sometimes, patients’ nails may lift from the nailbed or come off completely. This can be caused by the chemotherapy drug or some targeted therapy drugs. It can be painful and may increase the risk of infection under the nail. #fyp #chemotherapysideeffects #myjourney #nailfall #remission
I was on the Red Devil , my toes were ok but my finger nails became spoon shaped . Nobody told me to expect this so it was yet another unpleasant surprise . They did slowly go back to normal after chemo stopped

Onychlysis is fairly common with chemotherapy, your nails are made of the same substance as your hair. They’ll grow back

I had radiotherapy for breast cancer and I’m on tamoxifen, my toe nails are all looking like a fungus infection and are starting to come off. I never thought it would happen as I didn’t need chemo 🤦🏼♀️x
