Went to Weston Park today for my blood tests and clinic appointment. They gave me my steroids and started explaining possible side effects of the new drug.......
Apparently they will not give me the drug if I forget to take the steroids before I go, as there is a likelihood of anaphylaxis on administration- which sounds fun! And, apart from removing the rest of my hair, and tingling and numbness in my extremities, a strong likelihood of taking my fingernails too- urgghhh!
'How likely?'
'Well, it doesn't happen to everyone. Your best bet is to avoid washing up during treatment!'
Sadly, I went on a website (stupid girl) and read a few thread comments which were less than exciting.
'I have lost 3 fingernails already, has anyone else had this experience?'
'I managed to hang on to my fingernails, but on the last cycle I lost my little toenails........'
I guess it is the same process as losing hair, but one which I had not considered, so another shock for me to process, and lots for you lovelies to pray about!!!
