Thank you all. I will ask my onc about Exemestane, though I have read on this forum it is very expensive and doubt my insurance would cover it for more than a month or two. It is worth a try though. The tiny amount of estrogen I use definitely helps, even though my PCP shames me for using it. It’s the only thing keeping me on the Anastrozole. Your support is so helpful.

"even though my PCP shames me for using it." The shame is on your PCP. Johns Hopkins and Mayo both recommend vaginal estrogen for breast cancer patients dealing with urogenital issues. Your PCP is uninformed and if "shaming" is a tactic, then s/he is also uncompassionate. Best wishes to you. I do know what you are going through and it is important to find relief to be able to get through each day.
