@cfacarol
Although Exemestane (Aromasin) is an AI and functions like anastrozole and letrozole, it is chemically different in that it is a steroid. It may be that difference which allows manufacturers to charge more? and insurance companies to try to steer patients away from it?
I'll ask my Oncologist when I speak to her next time. Thank you for your follow-up!
