Hello. New to the group after being diagnosed with stage 1b melanoma this week I've been advised to take vitamin D supplement. My questions are what do you guys recommend? What strength? Why are vitamin tablets like horse size?? I can't do liquid format. What at else should I take to help my chances? This is all so alien to me. Many thanks in advance.
Hi SoulyBoo
I discussed taking certain vitamins and minerals after my treatments had finished with my oncologist. I found that most of them you can now get as a gummy version which to be honest encouraged me too take them as it was a bit like having a jelly sweet.
