Could Bruising On Body With History Of Drug Addiction And Family History Of Cancer Concerning?

My 34 year old daughter came to my home with bruising all over her body. She has not been hurt in any way. We have a strong family history of cancer including multiplemyeloma (grandmother) leukemia (aunts & uncles) and other types of cancer. She has a history of drug addiction. How worried should I be. What should be our next step.
