Hi . I'm sure this is very disconcerting. Mind if I ask what medications you are on? I ask because losing nails has been a known side effect of some drugs. Our contributor Duane wrote about his experience here: https://prostatecancer.net/living/rare-side-effects. Has your doctor had any thoughts on the cause? Hoping others chime in with their experiences and your doctors get some answers soon. Best, Richard (Team Member)

Hi Julian (). I know Duane mentioned Taxotere as the cause of his nail issues. I can't say about the one's you mentioned. Hope the doctor can give you some answers and some ideas on countering the side effects. Best, Richard (Team Member)
