      Has anyone been given advice by their doctor on taking vitamin d supplements while on Yervoy? If so, how much to take? I know there are studies on whether vitamin d is helpful in fighting melanoma, but wasn’t sure about how much to take, if any, when starting Yervoy.

          Hi Patsy,

          I had to provide a detailed list of ALL meds & supplements.  I included 3,000 iu of vit. D3/day.  The only vit that they commented on was Vit. C, @ 500 mg/day
