Please have her Vit D level checked. The anastrozole blocks estrogen, so her body may not be absorbing calcium properly, and if her Vit D is below 50, she may be leaching calcium from her bones. This is easy to fix, by taking 50 mcg with a meal daily. If Vit D is over 50 or so, then more testing may be warranted.
