Bleeding

Does anyone else bleed like a stuck pig if they just hit their hand on something? I hit my finger on the end table getting out of bed and didn't think anything of it. I got to the kitchen and blood was running off my finger, I had been dripping blood all down the hallway. My doctor tells me this is from the Avastin, but this much blood has never happened before. Is it because Avastin can build up in your system?
Thanks,
Debbie

Low Platlets??
Debbie,
How is your platelet count. Mine was very low on a combination of Xeloda, Irinotecan and Avastin 2 years ago. Yes I bled. Had infusions cancelled. And was even put on Prednisone to help it... don't know the mechanism! Platelets were also low for me on FOLFIRI mix 5 years ago. Platelets can stay low for a long time afterwards
What about blood thinners? Are you on any?

Hey Debbie! I just have
Hey Debbie! I just have random bleeding episodes from the Avastin! My nose, my gums...just whatever! And when I get stuck with a needle for tests and things, I just bleed! It's definitely the Avastin. The nose bleeds are the worse...quite annoying!
