How to treat numbness (fingertips and feet) due to chemotherapy?

There are meds.: You may be experiencing "peripheral neuropathy" as a result of your chemotherapy. There are several medications for this, so you should ask your oncologist. Sometimes, if symptoms are very bothersome, they will change the chemo "recipe." but do talk with them. Good luck. Lgromkomd.

Talk to your doctor: There are many medications such as Neurontin or Lyrica (pregabalin) that may help.
