The elusive Vitamin D

It seems I'm Vitamin D deficient..... and I believe that Vit D deficiency can be linked to breast cancer. Anyway, off to the chemist I went and now taking supplements. I did think that in some ways I'm lucky. Most people wouldn't even know if they're Vit D deficient. I get tested for it every 6 months as part of my blood tests.... so I'm glad about that!

I read a very interesting story from Catalyst on the ABC. They say that it's possible that 25% of breast cancer deaths could be avoided if the woman had maintained adequate Vit D levels throughout their life! An interesting interview/story...

Didn't hear any scan results, so it must be good. I'll go into the Oncologists rooms soon and pick up the scan so that I can take it away with me.... when I do that I'll try and make some sense of the report that'll come with it!!

Less than 7 weeks until I leave for the Solomon Islands. One more medical 'thingy' before I go, and that is a mammogram early in August. I just want to get on that plane on August 30!!
