What Causes Bleeding Blisters All Over The Body?
My mother. Aged 61. 3 years post pancreatoduodenectomy / whipple procedure for pancreatic cancer. Has blisters over body, face, in ears that are bleeding on inside for a few weeks to a month. Nurse at a check up a while ago let slip something about liver. They re off to doctor tomorrow but he s hopeless (the type if in the US you d sue for continually prescribing drugs with ingredients my parents are allergic to, and just there to draw the elderly in for visits to charge - but my parents won t change) Is this an indication of spread of the cancer (which never knew for certain if was removed or not), and is it an indication of a stage? Thanks, Clinton Dunedin, New Zealand
