Skin & nail changes can happen with chemotherapy, radiation, oral drugs, and immune-directed therapies for cancer. There are ways to lower your risk with natural agents and simple measures. Tune in to hear two naturopathic physicians, Tina & Leah, discuss what you can do.

Changes to your nails and skin are more than merely aesthetic. If left untreated, they can be severe enough to prompt modifications in your treatment plan. Reducing your risk of developing skin and nail damaging side effects is possible, and we talk about natural ways to do just that.
