I don't know about Medicare and discounts. I am in California and have Medicare Senior Advantage and also past employee of medical facility so only pay $5 for every 3 months. My experience is that I tried anastrozole which caused severe 24/7 headaches and bone pain, etc. and letrozole which caused severe bone pain. My oncologist switched me to exemestane about 2 months ago after giving me a 4-week break from the letrozole. I take this in the evening (as I did for the other two) to help decrease daytime dizziness and hot flashes. On the exemestane I still have hot flashes and sweats, however, I had uterus and ovaries removed at age 44 (now 68) and am used to those side effects (yuck), but I am not having the severe bone pain throughout my body. If I don't get any of that, I feel that I can stay on this drug. Recently, I did start a therapeutic water class twice weekly and try to keep walking three to four times a week. I also started using a product someone on this site recommended for pain, that of Topricin, which is holistic and contains arnica, calendula, etc, that I find helps with pain. Hoping you do well with this change. It's worth a try.
