Bone density levels are quite below to normal ,and thyroid levels are normal. They found a adenoma below right hand side of my neck in parathyroid nuclear scanning.

Hi, dear
I have gone through your question. I can understand your concern.
Your calcium level is very high. It is due to hyperparathyroidism as a result of parathyroid adenoma. Treatment of choice is surgical removal of parathyroid. Consult your doctor and plan accordingly. It is only definitive treatment to control your calcium level.
