"Every chemotherapy patient should be told about this amazing product. Unfortunately I finished my chemotherapy and suffered significant nail damage before resorting to purchasing Polybalm through desperation. I've been using it for about 4 weeks and the improvement in my nails is incredible. My nail beds no longer hurt, the brittleness is vastly reduced and they are thicker, they were so thin and soft they behaved more like skin than nail. I'm so happy and my self confidence has grown because they look so much better. This product isn't cheap but wow, it's a total game changer. Thank you so much!" SW
"I’m nearing the end of chemo, and just wanted to thank you for your excellent product. My nails have remained strong and healthy throughout. A friend recommended I use Polybalm and I am so glad she did. I’m quite vain about my nails, so when feeling pretty ill over the last few months, it’s been great that my nails still look good. Thank you." Sara Jenkins
"I was recommended Polybalm by the excellent Penny Brohn Cancer charity in Bristol, prior to starting neoajuvant cancer for breast cancer. Being a keen gardener who has tried every product in the book to keep my naturally very dry hands and rather brittle nails supple, I was understandably concerned about the additional potential damage to my nails from the chemo. I started using Polybalm just before chemo commenced and with regular use – mostly twice a day for hands, admittedly less often with feet – my nails have remained more or less normal. Have just had cycle 5 of a 7 cycle treatment, FEC finished, now on PTH. I’ve had a LOT of side effects, including a hospital admission for neutropenic sepsis and another for a raised temp but no sepsis. As for the nails, however, there has been a bit of fraying of the skin over the nail bed with ongoing soreness, and the nails are noticeably more brittle, but so far no discolouration or damage. The oncology docs and nursing staff, none of whom were aware of Polybalm, are suitably impressed. I will add that I glove for everything these days: washing up, housework, etc, and triple glove for DIY and gardening using nitrile inner gloves – one set to keep the cream on, the others for protection. I only wash my hands in cold or very cool water (a window cleaner actually recommended it some time ago), never hot. Am also using Udderly Cream, also recommended, for the new and additional problem of dry, sore palms." CH
"I have a friend with advanced cancer struggling with the side effects of breast cancer chemotherapy, including dreadful nails. I was so pleased I could send her some polybalm – her nails are getting better now – it’s so nice to know I have have helped in some way” DH
"I used Polybalm throughout my Chemo. I haven’t lost any nails -they did look stained for a while as though I’d been wearing a dark varnish but overall I’m happy to have kept my nails and they have very nearly grown out and back to normal now. (Last Chemo 9th May) I was also particularly effected by Doxetaxol (nasty skin reactions) so I think without the Polybalm I may have suffered with more nail problems." Beans79
"I used Polybalm throughout my chemo....5 months on I still have my nails....a few ridges at the tip now but nearly there. I found Polybalm easy to use and as far as I can see, very effective. I would recommend." Galligirl
