What Do Recurrent Bruises On The Body Indicate?

I have ph. + Leukemia, had bladder cancer, have pulmonary fibrosis, diabetes type 2, Epilepsy, cope, asthma, etc. I now have nodules on my abdomen. My gastro. Checked the first one by a Ct scan and said it wasn t cancer and if it got any bigger we d have to remove it. Well like the first I get these bruises. Then they come. One came underneath it about 1 1/1 inches long. A few days later two appeared on my left hip. All this time I d been having left side pain. After seeing the gastro and Ct scan I saw my onocologist and I am out of remission. I hadn t seen him in three months so...now I m back to once a month and if I m not back in remission with my Sprycel this month he said he s going to have to consider another form of treatment. I called my gastroenterologist as my onocologist said as I couldn t get in before the 21st and that was a cancellation. I m scared to death as these are spreading. Should I go to the hospital. I m taking narco twice a day. I hate taking pain pills and would hate to get hooked on that crap so I just deal with it in between. I haven t heard back from my gastroenterologist for an early working appt. What would you do? Sorry no money. Bye.
