For neuropathy symptoms, a neurologist specializes in nerve-related conditions and would be the most appropriate specialist to see. Many cancer patients experience neuropathy as a side effect of treatment, so it's also worth discussing with your oncologist who may be able to coordinate care or provide referrals to help manage these challenging symptoms.

A neurologist deals with neuropathy. I already have in my feet. I can't take the meds because they interfere with depression for me anyway.

I am so sorry to hear about your neuropathy. I had it so bad that my oncologist recommended to stop chemo in my 8th infusion of 12. It was a hard decision but necessary. My doctor explained to me that my neuropathy could damage my nerves system for life. It took time but I can say that I am neuropathy free now.
