Charlea, same thing happened to me. Dr. started out lower but had to increase to 4,000 to get it to a normal range. I know that if I don’t take my D and Zinc I just don’t feel right!
Thank you for your support. I will mention that I did get tested when I was taking 6000IU and was still low normal. A physician friend who has been studying Vitamin D3 research was the one who recommended the increase to 10000IU. I have stayed out of the sun for many years because of sun allergy so I don’t worry about excess from sun exposure. Also I have a metabolic panel about every two months so my liver and kidney functions are tested frequently. All have been within the normal range. I hope more people will add to this discussion in case there is more information out there.
Hi,
Just let everyone knows,In one session ,one guest ask the panel of speaker doctors at the DDW conference 2010 on 5/9/11 about the dose of non-prescription dose of vitamin D3(Cholecalciferol). Dr. Doris Strader mentioned should be 1000 IU/day and I just want to pass it along .
As normal dietary supplement the dose of is D3 400-1000 IU/daily(Drug Facts and Comparisons-a bible of sorts in every drug store or computer)
Take calcium along with vitamin D3 daily too; and watch the kidney function for early signs of taking vitamin D3 and calcium too much.
God blessThis is great Charlea!!! Vitamin D is very important, reading all new evidence. Wintertime I also take like 4000 IU/day. Now in spring/summer being in sun as much as possible I don
Charlea….NO CHANGE is fantastic to hear. Congratulations. I am crossing my fingers for good news on the hip also.
Living with this cancer must be possible although, one day (I believe) a cure will be found. Keep the good news coming, Charlea. You know that we thrive on it.
All my best wishes,
MarionDear Charlea, you are just so special! I am so happy that at least nothing has grown or been added. I would take “stable” any day. I take 4,000 D every day and have heard only good things about it, so I am with you! Yes, life is full of degrees and I proudly present you with a Graduation Degree in CC 101 and in attitude and caring! Keep up the good work!
Again my CAT scan shows no change in size or number of tumor/lymph nodes at month 17 from my initial diagnosis. Of course I did have a recently diagnosed significant tumor in my right hip which has been treated with what I hope is success. I question whether the hip cancer was pre-existing and just not seen on any other scans because the scans did not go that low. Other than the recent treatment on my hip I have had no other treatment since a chemoembolization in July 2010. I have been taking 10,000IU of vitamin D3 for several years (initially to treat MS) and I think it may be what is holding the CC at bay. There is some new research to show that it has been helping in breast and bowel cancer so I pass it on in case someone may benefit from it. Always check with your physician. I have refused to stop it (not that anyone has had the nerve to suggest it). I want so much to help fight this terrible disease particularly since I seem to be doing so well in spite of the degree of disease that I have. I would give anything to see all of these special young people and anyone suffering from CC to live more comfortably even if there is no cure. God bless all of you.
Charlea
