Guest guest Posted March 3, 2006 Report Posted March 3, 2006 Think of it as eating away at all the cancer cells in your body. That is what is getting me through it. it eats all the cells that divide quickly... hair, stomach lining (which is why you can feel sick) , CANCER, and we are so fortunate to have all this research to have these drugs for us... I had one woman come in today that had had a friend's spinal breast cancer spread DISAPPEAR from taking the arimidex... and a pastor's wife that had lost her fingernails... which are protein like our hair is... I have only seen this occasionally, will some of you please comment on this loss of fingernails? Andree www.essentialsoapsinc.com Quote
Guest guest Posted March 4, 2006 Report Posted March 4, 2006 > will some of you please comment on this loss of fingernails? > Andree Taxol (last Sep, Oct, Nov) affected my fingernails - I didn't lose them, thank goodness, but I have ridges across all my finger and toenails. Four deep ridges, one for each dose of Taxol, 3 weeks apart so there are dips between the ridges. Since the Taxol finished, I've been watching the ridges moving up my nails, and when I get around to cutting my nails this evening I will be cutting off the September ridge <G>. Progress!
