Hi Andi

Good to hear from you.

I also avoid Vit A!

Haven't looked into Vit K yet so interested to find out about it now!!

I have been taking Vit D daily but only had level tested once. Not a routine test here in UK & think it should be! When tested I was at 70 but had been supplementing so no idea what it was before. Also would have been interested to know what level was when 1st diagnosed. I would like my level to be between 80 - 100. Some research suggests that when you have cancer or chronic illness optimal level is 80-100.

Last year the Scottish Health Board issued a statement about Vit D and stated that all in Scotland should take a Vit D supplement. Someone with a medical background said that if the board suggested this they know more than they are letting on!!

Food for thought!!!
