Ibrance and nails

[Kiera49]

Hi, my nails are brittle and keep breaking, just wondered has anyone else had this problem, no other side effects

[Barbteeth]

Hi Kiera

Mine were like that so I’ve resorted to having hard gel nails at the salon...they look lovely and don’t damage your own nail underneath...well worth it

That sounds good I had nexgen at one point

I wear SNS (dip polished) nails and I go to the nail salon every 3-4 weeks. Well worth the price and pampering!

[Barbteeth in reply to morty87]

Yes we deserve it!!!

I use O.P.I. Nail Envy nail strengthener. It works great & looks like clear nail polish when applied. ❤️🙏❤️

[Kiera49 in reply to hopenowandtomorrow]

Thank you I have been using cute nail strengthened. Will have to try the one you use thanks

[Valisa in reply to hopenowandtomorrow]

I also use nail envy, works well if you don’t want to commit to gel nails

[Red71]

Mine were too so I just keep them short!

[Albert23]

Mine are the same I just have gel nail polish on them.

Yes!! It makes me very sad! I’ve always had strong nails that I could grow. Now I’m lucky if they are at my fingertip level. Especially have trouble growing my thumb nails. Very sad 😢

My nails are brittle and break too. I just keep them short. I used to wear gel nails for years but stopped a couple of years before the cancer came back. They looked awful without the gel nails but got somewhat better with time. I blamed the gel nails rather than the Ibrance but who knows. Blessings Hannah

Yes. My nails are dry

and brittle also. I keep them very short now unfortunately!!!! I always had long, strong nails. Not anymore!

Usually use nail polish that makes them a little harder.

[gerisplace]

Yes but I’ve always had dry brittle nails. I keep them short which helps. My problem has been my fingers, especially my thumbs and first finger, because the skin just peels off of them. Very sore and I can’t keep enough hand cream on them!

[Livinthedream]

Yes mine turned white and flaked off but since im off ibrance the ripples are growing out

I massage rosehip oil in my nails and cuticles twice a day and that works for me. My nails have become much stronger since doing this.

[Lynn-in-California]

Yep. I have the same problem. In my youth, when I had lots of estrogen, I had long, lovely nails. No, with all estrogen sucked out of my system by the Letrozole I take with Ibrance, I have to keep them short. They are thin, soft, and break easily. I just keep them short and wear pale pink polish.

I find it hard to open things especially getting tablets out of their packaging

I had stop doing my nails because, my polish last only for a few day..I was using my super glue to fix a broken vase. I asked myself what it would be like if I used it on my nails..I did it put on my polish and it make my nails stronger, and polish to last longer, before any water that touch my nails it would take the polish off been 5 days still on😉

[Kiera49]

I've actually found since being on denusumab my nails are really strong now, glad super glue is working for you xx
