I've never been a big bruiser and now I bruise easily... I noticed it after I finished chemo and a few months into my year of herceptin, which I am almost done with. I asked my doctor about it and he said that my blood levels are fine so not to wrry about it.... I thought that perhaps it was a function of the supplements that I started taking after chemo and he said that was a reasonable explanation. I've researched a few that I take and have found that the following cause bruising: Vit E (I take 800 IUs daily), asprin (I take 1 per day) and Omega 3 Fish Oil - (I take 2000mgs per day). Are you taking any supplements or other meds that may cause this?

Just a thought...

Love and hugs,
