This study is for adult females who have been newly diagnosed with breast cancer that includes surgery as part of standard cancer treatment. This is a research study combining Vitamin D (an over the counter medication) with the standard of care (or the established and approved treatment), surgery. Evidence shows that women who are Vitamin D3 deficient have a higher risk of breast cancer and breast cancer recurrence. The purpose of this study is to find out the effects of Vitamin D3 during the treatment period for Stage I-II breast cancer. Screening tests will be done to determine if subjects are eligible to participate in this study. If subjects are eligible and they agree to participate, they will be assigned to one of two groups which will receive different amounts of vitamin D. Subjects will be asked to keep a medication diary. Subjects may remain on treatment for approximately 56 days.

| Label | Type | Description | Intervention Names |
|---|---|---|---|
| Vitamin D- Normal Level at Screening | Experimental | Subjects will have surgery as their initial breast therapy. If subjects have a normal level of Vitamin D(25-hydroxyVit D 30-100ng/mL), they will be assigned to this group. |
|
| Vitamin D- Insufficient or Deficient Level at Screening | Experimental | Subjects will have surgery as their initial breast therapy. If subjects are insufficient (25-hydroxy Vit D 21-29 ng/mL)or deficient (25-hydroxyVit D <20ng/mL) Vitamin D levels, they will be assigned to this group. |

| Vitamin D | Dietary Supplement | Subjects will be assigned to a dosage level between 600IU daily and 10,000IU daily depending on their age, weight and current vitamin D level |

| Compare the differences in the T cell phenotype and function using PBMCs from patients in different cohorts | T cell analysis for the following markers will be evaluated-
These markers will help in determining the immunomodulatory potential of Vitamin D on T cell with respect to function, activation status and anti-oxidant capacity that can effect persistence and in turn immune outcome. The data obtained will be reported in terms of percent increase or decrease in number of T cells expressing particular receptors (homing or chemokine) or for differences in functional outcome (cytokine response) upon activation relative to samples collected at baseline. | Prior to Treatment (Baseline), Week 4 and Week 8 |
