Anyone taking Vitamin D3 (Cholecalciferol) as supplement for their Lymphoma (Hodgkin and Non-Hodgkin).
I have read a lot of sample clinical research/trials that show's good effects of Vitamin D3 to Lymphoma patients. I wonder if any of you guys are taking it.

    I take it as some studies have shown that it may help in viral immunity. Other than that, it is a vitamin that we receive from light - sunlight primarily. As far as I know, it has zero effect on either contracting or in placing lymphoma in remission. Australian lymphoma rates are equal to North America and Scandinavia, for example, and Australians have an abundance of natural vitamin D.

    I take 4,000 units of Vitamin D3 daily to help prevent recurrence of Stage IV rectal cancer. It seems that low Vitamin D levels are associated with several types of cancer.

    Have your Vit D levels been tested? It's possible to overdoes on vitamins. A blood test will tell what your levels are and if you need to take a supplement. I get my research from PubMed. Here's one link to read. https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/31622132/?from_term=vitamin+d+and+hodgkins+lymphoma&from_pos=1
