Hi Liz:
Bruising is something I thought was a 'just me' type thing. I have awful purple bruises all over my legs and have no idea what caused them. It really could have soemthing to do with the blood levels. I do know it can take a very very long time for those to get back to normal numbers. At my 1 year mark, I still wasnt even close to where I had been pre-cancer. Im sure there are medical reasons why some people bruise more easily than others.
