Leukaemia fear -

[Ke96]

Hey all,

So I am probably freaking out about nothing. I had a completely normal complete blood count 2.5 weeks ago. This weekend however I developed some big bruises that seems out of the ordinary for me. Could leukaemia have appeared in such a short time?

Thanks a lot in advance

Have you been out drinking? Taken any aspirin etc?

Did you spend time googling to find this?

I get bruises all the time and I don't have it.

Nah, but I started taking citalopram a week ago. Bleeding as a side effect is really rare, but I guess it could happen. I’ll check in with the doc. But yeah I guess having CBC just 2.5 weeks ago should rule out any stupid cancer fears.

As always yeah, just seemed a bit out of the ordinary. I should just chill, indeed had that normal CBC 2.5 weeks ago so I shouldn’t be so worried.

Yep chill out,it’s not just bruising you need too worry yourself with.
