Low Vitamin D level
Hello everyone, I had my second AC treatment yesterday and got the result of a Vitamin D blood test which showed my level was 37 which is low. I now have to start on a massive dose of Vitamin D made up by a compound chemist. Has anyone else had this problem? I would be interested to hear. Thank you.
Unintended Consequence
Just had a visit to my GP for routine blood results and had a nice surprise to hear that my vitamin D reading was excellent (95)! Not too shabby for the middle of winter. It has been a lot lower, especially before I was diagnosed with BC (there does seem to be some correlation between the two but that's a whole other discussion for another day). My doc asked if I was taking supplements? Answer no. I was thinking on the way home what the difference might be and I think it might be mushrooms ??? I eat mainly plant based now and have mushrooms 3-4 times a week. They are high in Vitamin D ....taste great, are in season now .........and no I don't work for a mushroom company :D :DLow Vitamin D level
Ive Just completed my last AC infusion....yay! As my vitamin D level was low I’ve also just finished taking 50,000 units (one tablet per week for 5 weeks ) and the results are that my level has gone from 37 to 93 which is great! I will start on Taxol weekly for 12 weeks on 11/4/18,so this BC show is well and truly on the road!
Vitamin D and link to Breast Cancer
Hi everyone, I was diagnosed with early stage breast cancer this year. I have only recently finished my radiation treatment and am now on Tomoxifen for 5 years. In the last month, it was noted that my Vitamin D level was on the low side. Yesterday I happened to visit a musculoskeletal doctor about a muscular issue, who happened to tell me about an inconclusive study that shows low vitamin D and its connection to a heightened risk of breast cancer re-occurrence. You can imagine my horror when I heard that. Has anyone else come across this?
