Hi everyone,
Woke up this morning and found a bruise on my stomach. I'm worried, as it reminded me of my diagnosis in 2017. Could bruising be a side effect of imatinib (I started 600 mg on March 28...previously on 400 mg). Had bloodwork done on Feb 28 and I was at 2.85 log. The oncologist was fine with the result, but suggested 600 mg to help bring me get past 3 logs. Should I be concerned with the bruising? So nervous.

Hi Sonia ,I was on 400 mg of Imatinib for about 15 months ,I did have some small bruising just along my bra line under my bust ,but it never bothered me and my Doc never worried about it .Once I started on Dasatinib they all faded and disappeared within a few days ,so maybe Imatinib was the cause .Denise.
I have been on 600mg Imatinib for almost 3 years and never had bruises, only from obvious reasons.
