I have been taking Brukinsa for 3 months as treatment for Waldenstrom's Macroglobulinemia and noticed some unexplained bruising, which is a side effect of the meds. It was most obvious the first month, but has subsided. I have also changed my diet to mostly plant based, eliminating animal protein in favor of beans, legumes, protein smoothies, etc. I do occasionally eat some fish. My last check up Sept. 16th showed marked improvement in my blood work and bruising is rarely occurring.
Wishing everyone the best as you navigate through your health challenges.

That is helpful to know @floann9, that bruising is a known side effect of Brukinsa (zanubrutinib) and that for you it subsided after the first month. Is the treatment working well for you?
