Blood results - Vitamin D deficiency
Hi all many thanks for all the help in the past which made me ask for the additional blood tests and to my doctors surprise I have a Vitamin D deficiency and that was very low. I'm a bit concerned about some of the other low results (including TSH) and would welcome your feedback. Although my doctor

Vitamin D3 deficiency
I've just had Dr on phone telling me I am Vitamin D deficient. He said my levels were under the NHS lab of 30 (which he says is their range for deficient) and they didn't even register. He is prescribing me 3200 D3, which after reading posts on here, I feel is not enough. I asked him if I should take

What would you do?
Brothers: Two pelvic lymph nodes, tumor burden in one, was 2.7cm, in the other it was 2.5cm. Now, one year later, with only 150mg daily of casodex monotherapy, both nodes have been reduced to 1.6cm. PSA one year ago was 105; now it is 6.7 I am thinking of adding Advodart and monitoring the two nodes

SUPPLEMENTS?
What's the wisdom on supplements? Naturopath associated with urologist recommends CQ10, ADT Support packet, Immunopectin, GD Toxol, (These may be his own brands) plus 400 units Vitamin D3 to ward off return of PCa. Prostate removed January 2016. PSA < .02. Thanks.
