Lung cancer, high blood calcium and bone mets

Thanks for the response. My oncologist took me off D3 saying that too much D3 can cause high calcium in the blood. My calcium was within the normal range before surgery in April 2023 and after surgery until the last test on August 14. Maybe it’s an anomaly. Not sure what I’ll do. I have another blood test coming up in Sept. Good luck on your follow-up CT.

Are you undergoing any kind of treatments? Like immunotherapy or chemo, etc.? Most definitely have to follow your Oncologists directions! I have also read that about the D3 as well. I only take it when it’s cloudy and rainy and I can’t get outside. But my K2 is every night. Also know that different labs get different results. LabCorp always reads my calcium level at 10.7 and 10.9, but Mayo came in both times at the 9.4 range. LabCorp says high, Mayo says normal. I will choose Mayo results over anywhere else for everything. Well hoping it levels out for you and you have good health!

Hi @whahoo, I had to look back at my results, and mine was high at the time I was diagnosed, along with several other labs that were unexpectedly high/low. I did not have bone mets. By the point that test was completed, my body was already under a lot of strain.
Hopefully stopping the D3, helps. There are many possible causes for a spike, it doesn't always mean cancer. I'll be interested to hear how your next set of labs look. Please keep us posted.
