D3 -- for Marejo
Hi Marejo:
I have some input on your D3 thread -- I'm not sure if this will show under your thread or start it's own new one.
Less than a year ago, my onc started checking the Vit D level of all her bc patients, using the same levels you listed as a standard. My level was just under the low end of normal, and she wanted it on the high end, as she thinks high Vit d level could be protective against recurrance. This is the only "alternative" thing she tracks, by the way. I started with 3 or 4 thousands units a day and also making sure to get some sun 9 (I live in the not sunny NW). When I was still on the low end of normal, she raised my d3 supplement to 7000 units a day. I am now up to the high end of normal (almost 80) which makes her very happy. She says high calcium would be the only bad side effect, so I've stopped calcium supplements.
I see her again in March and can ask questions if you'd like. By the way, I was stage 3a and am NED at almost 3 years.
Linda
