Sally field recalls how she reacted when diagnosed with osteoporosis.

Sally Field:
Well, I sort of knew it was coming. We had been watching it because I am such a prime candidate to get osteoporosis in that I am female, and that I am over 50, and Caucasian, and small, and I have it in my family history.

So we sort of, my doctor kind of prepared me, but I think what runs through your head, at least then because I think we have changed some of the stereotypical ideas of what osteoporosis looks like.
