    Zoozoo, if you want to answer: What are the side effects that still linger with you?

    My nails and hair have never been the same. Nails are very brittle and have ridges (I had fairly nice nails before chemo). Hair is thinner. The breast that had the cancer is misshapen after the lumpectomy of course, but the areola is much lighter after the radiation. I burned and peeled, even with lotions, aleo, etc. The only good note for that was that I peeled so much the scar from surgery disappeared.
