So I had noticed toward the beginning of chemo that ridges had started appearing on my fingernails. Then a few weeks ago I decided to ask one of my nurses about it. To me, it looked like there was a ridge for every cycle of chemo. She confirmed it. Then she had some really great news about it......they will most likely fall off. Great! Not more than a few days later did the nails on my right hand start peeling away from the nail bed, beginning the process. So now I'm just waiting to see how this is all going to play out.
This is my "normal" hand (my left)
And here is the other hand.
It's kind of hard to see in the picture, but about the top 1/3 of each nail is starting to peel away. I think it's odd that my left hand isn't as affected. I did notice today that one of the fingers are starting to peel, so it looks like it's just a matter of time.
Oh well, I'll have brand new nails to go along with my brand new hair soon!
