It’s 3 weeks now since my Rads finished ( no chemo). Was very sore and had to have some burn cream, buy thats fading nicely . Two days ago OH notices some small bruises in a patch on my back to the right of my shoulderbladeon my bad side. I don’t think I have banged it at all and now I am worried. Saw physio today and she said mention to Onc when I go in December.
Anyone else had this sort of thing?

Hi Norma
I seem to be permanently bruised. I mentioned it at my last check up and they did a blood test as I am on Tamoxifen and it can cause bruising. The results of my platelet count were 220 and apprarently 140-440 is normal and bc nurse said that this was ok but I do think that I bruise a lot easier now. Hope this helps
