Osteopenia?

I had a bone density scan last week and the onc called today to tell me I have osteopenia. I was told to start Caltrate and Fosamax. Is this possibly caused from being on Femara or from the chemotherapy?

I have no one in my family that had or has this.

Did this happen to any of you from the chemo or Femara?
