My nails, fingers and toes, fell off completely. It is amazing how sensitive the nail beds are without nails. They have grown back but look hideous. I am going to try the polybalm. Thanks for the info. Everything grows back so slowly. I still don't have eyebrows!

For my IV sessions (taxol) cant remember the entire name I used a combination of coral calcium, Vit B complex and Iron with Vitamin C supplements (its a lot but I suffered no nail effects and beat many other side effects) l also use olive oil to moisturize the cuticles. At night I moisturize my entire feet and toe nails and put on a pair of thin socks. The nails get dark because all the nutrients/ vitamins they usually get are not enough to sustain it. Ps I still do it up to today I'm currently on Xeloda. Hope it was helpful. Below is a current picture of my nails after 8 rounds of taxol and currently on a 4th round of Xeloda
