Hi @krm Welcome to Mayo Clinic Connect. This is a great forum for members to help each find some answers to questions or share common medical experiences. However, we’re not medical professionals so we can’t diagnose or offer treatments. Your oncologist or their NP might be able to tell you the reasoning behind your newly prescribed Xarelto.

I’m wondering what changed in your blood work. Have you recently had labs run? If your doctor is seeing a change in your blood counts such as an increase in platelets or a higher red blood count than usual, that may have alerted them to a potential clotting issue.
Do let them know that you’re having more bruising than normal. They may adjust your amount of the blood thinner. Have you talked to your doctor since being given Xarelto?
