Vit D

Hi Debbie:
My onc has been checking my Vit D level for almost 2 years. She says she wants my level on the high end of normal (there's a big range) and that is thought to be protective against recurrance. I started taking 2000 D3 a day and kept going up to 7000 a day, until my levels rose to where she wanted them. She said the only down side could be high calcium, but that is also checked in bloodwork (I no longer take calcium supplements.) She also recommends 20 minutes of sun a day, bare arms, face, chest and/or back, no sunblock.
There's a lot of talk about Vit D these days.
good luck
Linda
