Brief summary:
This study is designed to gather information on how the prescription drug Lovaza™ which contains omega-3 fatty acids, affects blood and tissue risk biomarkers for breast cancer. This drug is currently approved by the FDA for reducing blood levels of triglycerides.

Detailed description:
The central hypothesis is that 6 months of administration of high dose omega-3 fatty acid esters \[eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) 1860 mg, and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) 1500 mg\] daily in the form of a standard prescription strength dose of Lovaza™ (two 1 gram capsules twice daily) will have a favorable side effect profile and potential efficacy as demonstrated by favorable modulation of one or more blood and breast tissue risk biomarkers for breast cancer in postmenopausal women.

Arms:
arm 1: Lovaza™ (two 1 gram capsules twice daily) for six months

Interventions: intervention 1: Lovaza™
Intervention descriptions: intervention 1: 4 capsules daily for 6 months
