Hi

Morning sorry to hear your fingertips are so bad.

My fingertips have been numb since having chemo, and the numbness has never gone away, didn't get sore though, have you tried e45 for the soreness might help.

Have you mentioned it to oncologists.

Hope you feel better soon.

The main problem is that they split around the nails.

My oncology told me to wear gloves as much as possible when using water.
