Hyperparathyroidism while taking anastrozole or after stopping

Options

Note: This is a question about the parathyroid glands, not the thyroid. The four parathyroid glands are very small (each one the size of a grain of rice) located behind the thyroid. They regulate the amount of calcium in the blood.

Has anyone been diagnosed with high parathyroid hormone while taking anastrozole (or another AI) or after having stopped? I was diagnosed with hyperparathyroidism last year and recently saw an endocrinologist. I have normal calcium and normal kidney function. I will be having an ultrasound and a nuclear scan in about ten days to see if there is a tumor on one of the glands or if the glands are enlarged.

Thank you and my best to all. This site was so helpful when I was in treatment eight years ago! I will be forever grateful for all of the support.
