Hi there Annie,
I was trying to find out what causes this condition even though you are on chemo.
Here’s some information: Nutritional Deficiencies: Low levels of iron (anemia) or vitamins like biotin (B7) directly degrade nail strength. I entered your exact adjectives like peeling and crumbling. Chemo really does a number on us.
Here’s some tips: Hydrate the nail plates: Apply a thick hand cream, petroleum jelly, or cuticle oil containing jojoba oil directly to the nails multiple times a day.

🥰 Hugs, Kaye

I am taking the oral cytoxin and take it daily along with Avastin every three weeks. And if the prescription means anything, I have 11 refills! Only side effect so far is my fingernails are shot. They are peeling and crumbling before my eyes.

I was on cytoxin once every 3 weeks for 6 sessions without dose reduction.

Thank you. I did think of another question for you - how long were you on cytoxin?

Annie, PERRRRFECT with Avastin! In my humble opinion, whoever chose your concoction is smart! Keep me informed and if you run into issues, just text me or send rktmom1977 at gmail dot com.
Xxoo🥰. Kaye
