Bone density scans are done to keep an eye on loss of bone strength due to the loss that occurs naturally with menopause, unnaturally with chemopause, and also through the use of aromatase inhibitors. If there is enough loss of bone density (bone strength) then usually a bisphosponate like Fosamax is added. One reason aromatase inhibitors are generally given for a limited time of 5 years is to limit the amount of loss of bone strength.
Take the calcium and get as much natural sunshine as possible, or else addsupplemental vitamin D (or both). Some take a magnesium and vitamin C as well to help with absorption. Some weightbearing exercise can help too.
