Hello,
In her case of hypercalcemia, I would recommend checking parathyroid glands because a parathyroid tumour may be the reason for hypercalcemia.
Also, severe osteoporosis or bone metastasis can increase calcium levels in the blood.
Hope I have answered the question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
