@jochurch, I found this systemic review that looked at a number of studies about tamoxifen and cholesterol (lipids).
- The effect of tamoxifen on the lipid profile in women: A systematic review and meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S0531556521004629
Did you talk to your oncologist about this rise in your readings? What did they suggest?

@colleenyoung Many thanks for the link Colleen. The Dr put me on a high statin, which has reduced the cholesterol somewhat. I have come of Tamoxifen and will do bloods again in a month. They are hoping to reduce the statin if the results are good.
