OP might have saved his friends life
The funny thing is, the only reason i know that face about bruising is because years ago i watched a Charlie Brown special that deals with child cancer and they mention that fact in it. Guess I have Mr Charles M. Schultz to thank for potentially saving my friends life.
teachernator
Well done. Lost my mom to leukaemia. You saved her and her family from a devastating journey.
fuckpowerlevelsfucksupersaiyansandfuckyou
Sorry for your loss
Tibbus
Also this was the first symptom for my sister when she got leukemia, the rest of it is a very sad sad story...

MasterKitten53
This is amazing, awful that it turned out to be cancer, but is great that it was caught early.
Helicoprion
Just what every chronic hypochondriac wants to read. Thanks a lot.
groundhogsday
So wait...she had leukemia all along? Or she recently contracted bruising?
peckovermedia
My girlfriend bruises easily, I've asked her to get tested. Thanks OP
fuckpowerlevelsfucksupersaiyansandfuckyou
You're welcome, it's probably nothing for your GF but it's always prudent to check. Let me know how it goes :) (if that's not too wierd)

As a joke I mention lupus to my aunts doctor who can't figure out what's wrong with her. It's lupus. Thank you years of watching house.

It was called "Why, Charlie Brown, why?" And it was super depressing. My parents had it on a tape before cool runnings.

Hey, @op. I just wanted to stop by and say that I hope your friend is still doing well. You might have very well saved that persons life.
fuckpowerlevelsfucksupersaiyansandfuckyou
thank you for your kind words. unfortunately the cancer came back so she's in treatment as we speak, we're all staying strong for her
ThaWaySheGoes
(1/2) I am sorry too hear that. It takes a great amount of strength to stay strong during immensely hard times such as these. Like her,
ThaWaySheGoes
(2/2) you are a very strong person. She is very lucky to have such caring person in her life. I truly hope the best for all of you.

I remember that Charlie Brown special. It made me sad.
Mintytwang
Uhhhhhh I bruise easily and now I'm freaked the fuck out
GingerLaird
Never hurts to get checked out. I know fair-skinned people bruise easily, though. Mainly because I am fair-skinned.
captgray
its normally only a problem if you didn't use to bruise easily but now you do (and extensively)
captgray
only normally a problem if you bruised normally before, but now you bruise a lot/very easily
samvimesbootstheory
My sister was diagnosed after she hung upside down from a tree and the insides of her knees were already bruised when she climbed down.
samvimesbootstheory
That was 08. It was a miserable few years, but she's fine now.

Chill dude, remember this place can be like webmd. Still go to a doctor.

...I bruise easily. So does one of my sisters, and cancer has hit every generation of my family.. guess we should go see a doctor soon.

LvAllen
You should tell cancer to stop hitting you. You bruise easily.
LucasAmericano

iamthisguy247
One year later, hope you got checked and everything is ok. If you didn't get checked, this is a reminder.
madeleine61509
it can also just be caused by anemia/very pale skin in general. still worth going to a doctor about it
ThisIsSteel
I am indeed SUPER pale.
AttractiveYoungFemale
Can confirm very pale skin and a lot of bruising do go together.
MikeTornado
Easy bruising would be an indication of platelet, not prbc disorder. Anyways, just go see your doctor if you are concerned.
TheDudeWhoDrinksWhiteRussians
Can't confirm, I am a gingerbearded super white guy. I don't bruise easy at all. If I bruise I have to check for a broken bone.

You might be a viking.

EatingOreos
All the ladies in my family bruise like peaches and bleed like piggies, so it can also be a sign of badly coagulating blood.

aethernyx
Well, now I'm anxious as I bruise super easily too. Does anyone know what test this would show on? I had a bunch of blood tests recently 1/2
aethernyx
so if I could avoid going to the doctors again and put my mind at ease that'd be great 2/2.
PainGwen
I have immune thrombocytopenia, which is just low platelets. A CBC screen will id low platelets, tho more tests needed to confirm cause.
aethernyx
Thanks everyone! WBC and Platelets are dead on normal, RBC and Hemoglobin a lil low but probably unrelated; weight off my shoulders :)
PainGwen
(immune thrombocytopenia = bruise easily, potential hemmorhage/slow to clot, etc. I get nosebleeds a lot and need tests before surgery, etc)
polyplacophora
Probably a CBC- complete blood count. Any change in the composition or number of white blood cells would indicate infection or cancer.
toastedtri
Can confirm.

Doctor: "Good news! It turns out that you're just a lame-ass fuckin' wimp lmao, get the fuck out nerd." (Seriously though, best of luck.)
Excludos
Symptoms does not mean causation. You can bleed from your mouth and not have lung cancer as well, but it's still a symptom of it.
Excludos
That's to mean: You don't have to worry, easy bruising doesn't have to mean anything, but get yourself checked out just in case.
Temptedweeds
It's also a symptom of anemia.
Vaelrynn
Easy bruising can be a symptom for a lot of stuff, also harmless things. But better safe than sorry!

It could be von Willebrand disease. Very common, usually harmless and easily tested.
ashmenon
Worst case scenario, you waste an afternoon. Best case scenario, you get new FP material for imgur. Oh and you beat cancer.

I'd say that the wasted afternoon would be the best scenario here

But that's an afternoon I could have spent masturbating.
futuralon
Elderly people that don't die of heart disease, die of cancer. Be worried if the same KIND of cancer runs in the family, e.g. Breast, colon
StopStaringAtMyUserNameItsVeryShy
You might as well get checked (if you don't have to worry about costs)
ilovemyboobs
men and women on my mothers side all seem to get breast cancer, so my doctor has been doing bi yearly testing since i was 16.
ThisIsSteel
It's usually a different kind of cancer, but around half the people in my family were young when diagnosed.
OmgOptimized
Maybe you guys have something genetic that messes with the cancer defenses (I'm not sure that exists, but wouldn't surprise me if it did) :/
SauceIsAwesomesauce
There is. There is a type of white blood cell that helps eat cancer cells
OmgOptimized
Oh, I know there are defenses, not sure if there are genetic conditions that hinders them though!
SkieFyre
This. My family is doomed. Both sides, death by colon cancer. Or sepsis from cancer.
LDpenguins
Get your colonoscopy every 5 years and start before age 50. Colon cancer is very treatable!!
MnemonicMonkeys
Hence why Steve Jobs was an idiot
BobKelsoDoesntGiveACrap
Recommendation for 1st colonoscopy is 10 years before a first degree relative was diagnosed with colon cancer or had abnormal scope.
Lilshadow48
Maybe don't have a kid
SkieFyre
Not planning on it :) Relatives with it didn't know until very late in age... so until recently we didnt know it was on both sides.

Isn't heart disease a cancer of the heart?
OSCgal
No. Cancer: uncontrolled cell growth. Heart disease: heart can't pump blood efficiently (usually b/c of blocked blood vessels).

Charlie Brown dealt with child cancer? What the fuck. I thought those comments about it being depressing were a joke not commentary!
AdmJota
You've never seen the older Peanuts strips, have you? This was the very first one ever:

while I watched it I did not expect a Charlie Brown animation to go that way. It's the first time a cartoon character had cancer.

That was my first thought too. Seriously? Wow.

Charles Schulz suffered from depression and his cartoon world view reflects that.
