Is Numbness In Right Hand Related To Pancreatic Cancer?

Hello, My mother is nearly 90 and suffering from pancreatic cancer (diagnosed mid July). Her right hand went numb for a couple of hours this afternoon, but she seems to be getting some movement back now. Is this related to the cancer?
Your advice would be appreciated.

Numbness in hand can be due to pancreatic cancer. A radiograph of cervical spine should be done to rule out any metastasis there causing nerve compression.
Please discuss it with your doctor.
