@normahorn and @windyshores, Do you have your homocysteine level tested regularly? It can be one indicator of B12 deficiency. A B12 deficiency often, though not always, leads to high homocysteine levels (hyperhomocysteinemia), and one of the complications of hyperhomocysteinemia is osteoporosis. I had mine tested recently, and it was smack dab in the middle of the normal reference range.

Neither my PCP nor oncologist suggested that test. Have now sent a message to my PCP requesting that it be ordered.

What is the normal range? I saw one place that said 5-50 umoles/L while the lab that reported mine level said < 10.4. I tested at 9.6 umole/L.
