Docetaxel chemo: How did you avoid having nail issues?

I finished my 6th infusion two weeks ago and no such issues. My side effects were mostly fatigue, 85% hair loss, a rash on my hands and forearms for about 10 days a week or so after each infusion, and now my eyes have been watering after the final two infusions. Best of luck!

@florida11 Thanks for posting, maybe I'll luck out and nails wont be a big issue. Any eye watering I've had, which has been just a day or two her and there, has been controlled by just OTC Systane

@florida11 My hub had the eye watering too - didn’t expect that one - actually, liquid tears were recommended and they helped. That, and finishing the chemo 😉
Good luck!
