Should I Be Worried About The Bruise On Right Side Above Waistline After Being Diagnosed With Stomach Cancer 5 Years Ago?
My boyfriend was diagnosed with stomach cancer almost 5 years ago, he has stomach problems daily, with some days worse than others. This morning he woke up with a bruise over his right side above his waistline. He doesn t remember hitting anything. Should we be alarmed? What could cause this?

just, burise may not be any serious thing. but I will advise to check for platelet count, and if it is normal, then nothing to worry. and I think he must be undergoing followup USG abdomen, or GI endoscopy once a year to look for any recurrence of tumor.
