What Causes Bruises All Over The Arms?

I have had cancer several times, Thyroid cancer, lost my left kidney to cancer & total Hysterectomy. Lots of other health issues including 3 surgeries to my small intestine, 6 months in a hospital with a port to keep me alive as I could not eat, too many adhesion s wrapped around my intestines. Now I have bruises all over both my arms, just my arms from the elbow down to my hands, which bleed & get really bad. Why? As I don t take any aspirin

General & Family Physician,  's  Response
Hi,

I am sorry for the health problems you are facing. I see that you are very strong.

Unfortunately, cancer will invade all your body cells including blood cells causing anemia and bleeding disorders. This explains why you are having bruises all over your both arms and bleeding.

Should consult further with hematologist, run complete blood count and measure INR and PT-time.

All the best and God bless.
