vitamin d levels are in....

and they don't look good based on everything said here. My level is at 26, I am also low in calcium and potassium. I had the report sent to my internest as well as my oncologist (who ordered it) and she started me on potassium supplements the same day she received it. She indicated my oncologist would be the one to deal with the other abnormalities. And I had a bunch - lows and highs - maybe my oncologist can make sense of them - what it looks like to me just looking up the abbreviations is that maybe I am anemic.

More stuff, more supplements to take, add them to the pile!

I'll keep you posted on what I find out from the oncologist - thank you all for your invaluable help on this!

Best to you all! Donna
