Unexplained bruising

Hello all.

Over the last few months I have been experiencing small finger tip sized bruises on my legs, pelvic pain, stomach pain, fatigue and breathlessness.

 

I assumed I was maybe low on iron, until things got a little more strange

 

a few weeks ago a huge bruise appeared on top of my foot - it looked as though I had broken it! The thing is - I had no accident and the bruise wasn't sore. 
 

Then 2 days ago, while changing I noticed another palm sized bruise on the back of my leg which was bright purple and nasty looking, again - I know I haven't banged myself 

I was asked to email photos to my GP yesterday and she took me in today for a range of blood tests and now wants to refer me to the haematology department.

 

she told me they were very unusual and strange....

 

I have been suffering awful headaches too so the doctor has focused on this.  my MRI brain scan came back clear yesterday. 
 

with all these symptoms I am fearing the worst with a 7 day wait for my results. I can't eat I feel so unwell with worry :(

 

Anyone have any positive ideas eg not the big C that may be causing such symptoms .

  • Hi Rachael and welcome to Cancer Chat.

    I just wanted to reply to you as I noticed you were hoping to hear back from WeeOne90.

    Unfortunately they haven't been on the forum in a while and this discussion was last active over 2 years ago so there's a chance you may not find out what happened.

    I really hope that won't be the case, but if you don't receive a reply, you could try reaching out to others on more recent discussions you find about this topic or you can start a new discussion.

    Kind regards,
