Magnesium Supplements, Breast Cancer & Tamoxifen

Hi Liane sorry about your news, please contact your Macmillan nurse to check for you then can contact your oncologist as well.

Look after yourself wishing you the best xx

Agree check with your breast care nurses or your oncologist. They will know best 

I take magnesium and zinc, collagen supplements etc. I am post surgery and radiotherapy. I take Tamoxifen, I have googled a few times things that clash with Tamoxifen, grapefruit, tumeric plus many others affect uptake of Tamoxifen. Not Magnesium or so I have read. The Oncologist said he was ok for me to take my supplements. 

Good luck with your treatment and surgery, or whatever they suggest. It's like everything becomes suddenly hazardous, a very confusing time at the beginning. Hope that helps. X

Thank you

I told my Oncologist I was taking daily magnesium, she didn't seemed fussed,

Still not sure if I'm having tamoxifen or letrozole but either way, it didn't seem to be an issue.

Post treatment it's ok. I think at the chemo stage most supplements stop. Hard to get the info, they haven't time to impart everything. 

Thank you xx

I’m on letrozole and Abemaciclib, I take magnesium citrate or chelated magnesium. My onco has ok’d it xx
