Interesting Presentation on Vitamin D

Really interesting how all of us are so different. I don't think I was tested until about 7 years ago and I was pretty low at 20-ish. Both onc and endo were concerned, but like Steph, they like it around 60-70.

Bone density increased on arimidex? Go figure.

I have no idea of my starting number either. For my mom, sister and cousin - all got Vitamin d IV drip and then had to take the mega 50,000iu per week (one weekly pill) for 6 weeks. My sister is diligent she does listen to me about D and figures that maybe she dodged a bullet by only having DCIS. My mom, not so good. I don't keep up with my cousin much. She only called me when she was diagnosed and going thru treatment. She is almost 5 years out now. I do not think we process it well and need alot. Like I said, my 4000iu per day only gets me to 46 but I can live with that. I did think I might do 5000iu but I'm not too sure.
