Thread veins in legs

Hi Levens, I did have thread veins (telangiectasia) but in my bladder, caused by radiotherapy and cleared up in just over a year by themselves, and I have a friend who had it on her legs and I know she was on ibrance and something else but I can't remember, though it definitely wasn't letrozol and was told by her doctor ibrance was probably the cause. I'm sorry but she never mentioned cold feet, but she did have treatment to remove them. best wishes.

Thanks , when I mentioned it to my oncologist he didn't seem  to concerned.   I have to put concealer on if I want to go bare legged.  Not sure who to ask to see if they can be treated.

Hi Levens the treatment is called sclerotherapy and it i possible to get it on the NHS if there is a medical need, they wont do it for cosmetic reasons though it is available privately but do your homework, make sure they are qualified professionals.

Hi Levens 

I'm sorry to read of your thread/spider veins. If your Oncologist was not concerned, it may not be because of your treatment. It may be worth seeing your GP about the veins and your cold feet as it may be circulatory problems. If the veins have no other symptoms then sclerotherapy may not be the answer. This is more often used to treat varicose veins, which make your legs heavy and aching. You probably know about your medications but I've linked them for you below.

Another way of finding personal experiences of your medications is to enter them into the search button at the top of the page, the magnifying glass. It may be better to get checked by the GP.
