My dad was diagnosed with prostate cancer last year.The cancer hasn't spread to his bones or any other organs and he is on prostrap injections to stop testosterone.His skin bruises very easily and today his hand started bleeding for no reason while he was peeling an orange (not using a knife or anything just his hands) Does anyone know what could cause this? Thanks

I'm sorry about your dad.
Therapies for cancer frequently make the blood cells very fragile, and this causes bruising. He should see his oncologist about this.
And incidentally, it's prostate cancer, not prostrate cancer.
God bless. :)
