Hi all. This may be completely unrelated but after having all the tests 7 days ago, I've woken up this morning with a black eye, all bruised around the inside of my right eye. I have no knowledge at all of injury to my eye. Is this something that happens do bruises move? My left breast looks like it's done 3 rounds with Tyson but that's understandable. This is weird! Thanks

  • Hi  

    I haven’t come across anything like this before and I am sorry you also feel rather battered by all the tests. You could try contacting one of our nurses on the number below to discuss it? I hope it clears up soon.

  • Thank you. Appreciate the response you start putting unrelated aches and pains together and blame it all on cancer once you know it's there! This is a mind melt journey!!

  • Hi, I don’t know if this is what you are describing but I often used to get a purple eye that looked like a black eye when I was having chemotherapy- I am not sure whether is was stress or medications but have had it since when I am run down or ill too since a cancer diagnosis. 

  • Thanks, not started my treatment yet, but I can see it being a stress reaction. Wishing you well.
