Fingernails and toenails?

depending on the med you are on, my nails became very thin and split. I use gel polish on them and that seems to work

Never had my nails fall out

Mine did not, nor my toenails. I've heard some people like to apply ice baths to their fingers and toes during chemo administration, but I didnt even bother. Didn't cold cap either. I'm so sensitive to cold anyway. Sitting around with ice on my head, hands, and feet for 4 hours every 3 weeks sounded like a form of torture to me.

I normally wear gel nails, but I did not want to risk infections during chemo, so I just went with regular nail polish and what I call "gentle" manicures and pedicures. No clipping cuticles or digging around toenails. My nails were fine afterward, if a little more brittle, no discoloration. As they grew out after chemo there was a definite horizontal line on the nails. I've had that happen before after serious illness or surgery. Once that line grew out entirely my nails were completely back to normal.
