Some basics : Leukemia is a process where the place that makes all your blood elements is invaded/overtaken by the abnormal leukemia cell. Bruising from leukemia represents a lack of platelets, the tiny clot helpers that plug leaks in capillaries when you bump something. Platelets live only a few hours so taking your blood pressure during you visit would have caused physical changes your doc would have seen.
