I have very recently been diagnosed with gallstones and have been taking Tamoxifen since September 2024 and wondering if there is any link and advice if I should continue taking the tamoxifen. Thanks

Hello and thanks for your enquiry,
There have been some reported medical studies suggesting a link between tamoxifen use and gallstones formation.
However, gallstones are also fairly common in the general population.
As nurses, we can't give you a medical opinion. You will have to seek the advice of your breast cancer specialist, and/or your GP concerning this.
I hope that you get help with this soon,
Best wishes,
Vanda
