Well, the pinkishness of my skin is evident. Though I use Glaxol, the skin is like it was when I was taking Taxotere for chemo. All the locations where the radiation is focused are patches of pink, like a rash. I have 4 days off for the weekend and the two holidays that radiation operators get. That might help to heel the skin before going back for my last 15 treatments. I am surprised that the pinkishness is so patchy. I had thought it would be even, like a sunburn.
My last fingernail fell off today. They were affected by the chemo. I was surprised to find that the fingernail situation appeared at the same time as my 4th chemo treatment. The fingernails began to fall off one by one exactly a month later, to the day. During the same month, all 10 nails fell off. It will be another month before the indentations grow out and my nails return to normal.
My eyebrows and eyelashes began to grow back 50 days after my final chemo treatment. Now 60 days after chemo my head hair is growing back. It looks a bit darker than it was before chemo. I imagine that I will have a short head of hair between now and 30 days.
