I’ve been on Tamoxifen for about 6 months now and every now and again I feel nauseated especially in the morning. The Oncologist wants me to take it for up to 5 years because I’m in the high risk category for breast cancer. My only question is can this cause a problem beings i have pulmonary fibrosis (asbestosis)?

Welcome, @shirley57. Such a good, but very specific question. I did a quick internet search and found this 2016 information about tamoxifen and its potential as a treatment for pleural mesothelioma - a lung cancer caused by asbestos exposure.

I think your question is one to ask your oncologist and your pulmonary specialist. Is your oncologist aware of your lung condition?
What time of day do you take your tamoxifen?
