Dear frustratedrg: Femara has a less than 5% incidence of hypercalcemia (high calcium). Calcium is inversely proportional to phosphorous such that, if one goes up, the other may go down. Whether or not this is the situation in your case cannot be concluded via the internet. Please ask your doctor to comment on your bloodwork and its significance in your case.
