Hello there, Just had a question from a Mum who`s daughter is BA post transplant and doing well but her finger nails and toenails are falling off. So far there has been no explanation, has anybody experienced this? Thanks in advance, Tom

Thanks for that Babyzuzu and as you say this could be a variety of things. I hope that this may be of some support to the family in question. I hope you have a Great Christmas and New Year.
