I have been in Ibrutinib for 6 weeks and I am covered in bruises, mainly on my legs. Apparently a very common side effect😩
My hands and arms are always black and blue. Even before I started Imbruvica.

My arms are rarely without one or more healing bruises. I am active and unlikely to change my ways including scrapes and bumps. My oncologist said my platelets are not only low (120-143) but they are poor quality platelets. I have been on Ibrutinib for a year and a half and just take the bad with the good.
I wake up with bruises on my arms and I absolutely hate them!!
I apply cold impress on them.
I find the more I am careful the more I bump into things.
Last summer I fell off a boat and was covered in them!
they come and go
