One of the side effects of chemo can be finger- and toenail weirdness. They don't call it that. I'm sure it's "changes to nails" or some such, but weirdness it is. Hasn't been terrible for me, and was confined to my big left toe, but as I always have my nails painted it doesn't much matter. I keep my fingernails painted to keep them out of my mouth, otherwise I'm nibbling at hangnails, and since that was especially frowned upon during the pandemic, I figured if I paint them I'm less likely to succumb to temptation. Now, I do NOT nibble my toenails, but painting them gives me something fun to look at, so they're almost always done!
You can see how much more it has to grow out to be back to normal. Cancer, and chemo, the gifts that keep on giving...
Problem solved! Wandering rose to the rescue!
