Re: high blood calcium level
Donna, I had high blood calcium for 5 years before anyone took it seriously. It's a long story but ultimately I was diagnosed with hyperparathyroidism. The osteoporosis fits right into hyperparathyroidism. You are doing the right thing by seeing an endocrinologist. This is what they are good at.
I also developed kidney stones as a result. .
Hyperparathyroidism isn't great, and I had to have surgery for it two years after my breast cancer diagnosis but I'm cured.
PS Five years out from BC and feeling great!
