Q: Tamoxifen Side Effects

I have been taking tamoxifen for 4 years to prevent breast cancer. My cholesterol has quadrupled and my triglyceride level (fat in the blood) is more than 5000. I have found some medical articles that claim tamoxifen greatly raises these levels in some women. Is there anyone who has had this happen?
