Morning,

I was at the unit to have my phesgo yesterday and the nurse mentioned my vitamin D level was high, calcium levels were normal. My vitamin D levels were found to be low in January and I was given 6 weeks of supplements. I would have thought they would have been out of my system by now.

Wondered if anyone had had similar, doesn’t take much these days for my anxiety to rocket.

  • "high" does not necessarily mean, "too high," so I am wondering what they actually meant. Is there a way for you to make contact and ask for clarification? It may be that she was trying to say that the supplements did their job; from what she sounded like, do you think that's possible or did she sound like she was telling you something was off?

    Thanks for the reply. I have phoned the unit and they are going to get in touch with the oncologist for me regarding this and when I can start the zoledronic acid. I couldn’t start it while my vitamin D was low. 

  • Hello ,

    I don't think having high levels of Vitamin D are a bad thing.  

    My Consultant actually said Vitamin D is very good for us and helps against the 'C' word. ....

    On way home from appointment I went straight to chemist to buy some.

    I'm hoping this makes sense - only my mind says one thing and my fingers type whatever they like x
