Re: vitamin D supplementation prevents AI-treatment related bone loss
This is exactly what happened to me and I reversed my osteopenia completely. Zometa only made things not get worse, then I began intense Vitamin D3 therapy (got to 46-49 readings) and my bones improved - so much so that they are in the normal range - no more osteopenia. My onc has never seen this happen before, ever. He was blown away. Its all the vitamin D.
Hope all the other great things vitamin D does for you is happening too.
