nail repair

hi,
i finished my chemo for her2 br/cancer just over  a year ago and my nails just keep on peeling back thin. I had the hardest nails around,you could not bend them,they were good. now they are thin and disgusting , will they go hard again and how long will it take. I am running out of patients,I am sick of them peeling thin.Its so annoying.I think a year and a half they should be back to normal by now. Please help me with more info.

My mother completely lost her toenails and her fingernails thinned out considerably during chemotherapy. It took a full year for them to return to the way they originally were. Maybe, the time frame for recovery is just longer for some people.

I've hit my 3 year cancerversary and my nails are still thin and razor sharp. Strange side effect, eh? I wish I could say mine were better.

Best wishes
