I can't believe it has been 8 months since Mary finished her chemo and radiation-time flies. She is doing really well, eating is still slow but she is working on it. Over the past several weeks she has noticed that she is bruising fairly easily, sometimes with no known injury. Some of these bruises are fairly large, especially on her legs. She has started exercising (step aerobics) again on a regular basis. She is seeing the docs in Boston next week and plans on discussing it with them, but I was just curious if anyone else encountered this such a long time after their treatment ended? Anemia or low platelets cross my mind, but she is not fatigued.
I stressed that it is important for her to mention this next week. Hopefully it is nothing.
Liz
