How Can Brittle Bones Be Treated?

I have two friends my age 72 who both say that their thinnings and brittle bones are a result of taking Fosomax. My oncologist has me on it because my last scan showed a low normal reading and I am taking an anticancer medication that also thins bones. Your opinion please.

Thin bones can be caused by such meds plus age has part to play too but replacing calcium and vitamin D by using supplements can always help big time.
