A member asked:
Is bruising easily a side effect of chemotherapy?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Sometimes: If the platelet count drops, it can cause bruising. Also if someone is on a blood thinner and receiving chemotherapy, they can bruise easier. Also depends on the chemotherapy. Some can lead to lower platelet counts than others. Hope this helps.
