Vitamin d

My husband finished his chemo in March,and he’s been very tired, over the last couple of months he’s felt really ill ,kept getting  colds ,chest infections,his bones have ached, and he said he’s never felt so ill , luckily we had a super doctor on Monday thought it.might be due to low iron or vitamin d and they sent for him straight away as he had very little vitamin d , so please look out if you feel really poorly , hopefully he will feel better soon , he had stage 4 bowel cancer and all is brilliant news on his cancer

    Hi Astrid,

    A warm welcome to Cancer Chat.

    I am so sorry to hear about your husband's bowel cancer. This is one of the many problems with cancer. It affects our immune systems and we pick up every germ going. Thank you for your advice about vitamin D. Many of us on this site suffer from extreme fatigue and it might well be worth discussing the benefits of taking additional vitamin D with our doctors.

    I hope that it works for your husband and that he begins to feel the benefit of his chemo soon, without the tiredness and illness.

    Please keep in touch and let us know how things go. We are always here for both of you whenever you feel like talking..

    Kind regards,

    Jolamine xx
