After 12 weekly infusions of Taxol, I had mild peripheral neuropathy. 6 months after that ended, I have some nails growing back and some still dying. Is this unusual? I also would like to share tips about dealing with it. For instances, I use an old plastic card instead of my fingernails for opening packages, peeling off labels, and things like that.

Thanks for the card hint! My hands are feeling strange and my finger tips are sometimes cracking because of Xeloda, so this will really help! When I had chemo 24 years ago all my fingernails fell off (at that point my doctor said, “I think you’ve had enough!” ) but grew back within a year, I think.
I was able to cure my peripheral neuropathy with scrambler therapy. My oncologist now refers other patients to it and they have had similar results
