My onc has been testing Vit D levels for some time. She believes that women who've had bc should be on the high end of normal, and most of us are low. I took supplements for a while and ended up having to take 7000 units a day to get my levels where she wanted them (last level was 66.) We continue to test because she believes that too high a level can be damaging. I think the top level would be in the 80's or so (I'm sure someone else will know.)
I'm happy to keep taking the supplements. They're (d3) easy to take, cheap and I have no adverse effects. I actually think I'm not getting colds and flus when everybody around me is sick.
