Finger Nails

October 14, 2013, as the days went on, I started to notice a drastic change in my finger nails. The nurse did inform me that the chemo would effect my nails also but I wasn't expecting this. I was experiencing serve pain that caused swelling, bleeding, puss, a foul odor, and discoloration. The chemo was actually eating my finger nail bed. I discussed my symptoms with my nurse and she advised me to soak my finger nails in bleach and water. Soaking them eliminated the smell, puss and bleeding but I still had the pain, that eventually went away. I guess they were 100% serious when they said that chemo is actually killing you and you have to fight to survive.
