Hi sswifty07

Thanks for posting.

HPV is a very common virus which many women get, including women who’ve also had a breast cancer diagnosis.

We don’t know of any connection between HPV and breast cancer and its treatment such as tamoxifen. However, you may find the information on Jo’s Cervical Trust website or support by talking to someone at the Eve appeal charity useful.

Do call our helpline if you would like to talk this through or have any further questions. The helpline team have time to listen, talk things through and signpost you to more support and information if necessary. Your call will be confidential, and the number is free from UK landlines and all mobile networks. The number is 0808 800 6000, (Relay UK - prefix 18001).

If you would prefer one of our nurses to call you. To do this, please complete this form ticking the box agreeing to a call back.

Our usual opening hours are Monday to Friday 9am - 4pm and 9am - 1pm on Saturday.

Out of hours you can leave a message and we will call you back when we next open.

Best wishes
