Is Gallstone A Matter Of Concern In A Breast Cancer Patient?

My daughter is in school to be an ultrasound technologist. She was scanning me for practice last night and her instructor found a gall stone (about 2 1/2 cm) . The instructor said if I was not symptomatic, there was nothing to worry about and just ignore it. I am not symptomatic, but had breast cancer 5 years ago so I am always cautious. Your opinion? Should I let me oncologist know?
