7 days agoNighttime hand numbness can happen for various reasons, including positioning during sleep as you mentioned with using a pillow for relief. Many cancer survivors experience changes in their hands and feet that can persist years after treatment, but sleep position and other factors can also contribute to these sensations. It's wonderful that you're 9 years in remission and sharing your experience here - connecting with others who understand the long-term effects of cancer treatment can be so valuable for the community.
