ALL of the stuff I go on about influences cholesterol!
The thyroid not only matters, it is key. I am taking it that her thyroid was removed? And she is getting some amount of "thyroid hormone"?

It is a PDF so hard to work from.
"Blood Lipids in Hypothyroid and Hyperthyroid Women
In the 40-60 years age group, 59 women were examined
for lipid content of the blood. Plasma cholesterol, lipid
phosphorus. total lipids, and neutral fats were determined
in the department of clinical investigation of the London
Clinic. Since women in this age group possess more fatty
tissue than younger women, it was not surprising to find
higher values of blood lipids. When oestrogens are given
to these women the blood lipids rise still more, whereas
androgens have no marked influence on the lipid level
(Gertler and Oppenheimer, 1953).
Hypothyroid women, by contrast with hyperthyroid. show
a very elevated lipid level, but after thyroid treatment the
lipids decrease considerably. In three women with inoperable
breast carcinoma and two with inoperable ovarian
carcinoma, who received massive doses of tiyroid hormone
up to 25 gr. (1.6 g.) daily for four to six weeks-which
made them temporarily thyrotoxic. the lipids declined to a
very low level and the inoperable cancer growth decreased
in size. Two cases of previously inoperable breast cancer
became operable; one of these patients is still alive, and
after two years was clinically cured. Already, 53 years ago,
Beatson tried to influence inoperable breast cancer by
oophorectomy and massive thyroid doses; and before him,
in 1887, Schinzinger was the first to remove the ovaries in
breast cancer cases. Removal of the gonads or adrenalsas
I see it supports the production of more thyroid hormone
and acts in this way. Gonadectomy and adrenalectomy
can therefore be replaced by thyroid medication.
A low level of lipids in the blood in cancer cases is a
prereqLuisite for the prophylactic treatment of cancer recurrence.
Such a condition is found-as our investigations
have shown in hyperthyroid and often in allergic conditions.
and, as is seen from Table I, the incidence of cancer
is lowest in these two groups lower, in fact. than among
the average population."

And remember that the T4-T3-T2-T-1-T0 conversions are strictly selenium dependent.
I find it truly appalling, what Med has done and continues doing to women.
Remember this: Your MOTHER is the boss NOT her doctor.
