Your platelets have been
Your platelets have been what? Your post was cut off. Bleeding out of your pores ... frankly I've never heard of that in association with chemotherapy, much less with as common a regimen as R-CHOP, but that doesn't mean they can't be associated. Still, I'm not sure how they would be. Have you seen your onc or any doctor regarding this?
To be honest- and I say this as a non-health pro-- the only time I've ever heard of bleeding through the pores of the skin is in association with what are called viral hemorrhagic fevers, illnesses caused by RNA viruses. But they generally come with other symptoms as well, and I'm sure such bleeding comes from other things too. Lymphoma and chemo for lymphoma -- your immune system has spent some time compromised by all this, so maybe you picked up something. Just a suggestion. If you haven't seen a doc about this I would do so, simply because it's just not normal to bleed through the pores.
My platelets levels were
My platelets levels were fine. I have visited my oncologist and he didn't seem to be too bothered by it and he did blood work to see about my platelets. It isn't severe and I noticed that it hapens when I'm warm or have come in from outside.
