I found this article fascinating. You can purchase a copy of the full article published in Nature; I tried to read it online, but because it's scientific language I needed to have a print out.

I'm beginning to think I fall in that latter category having now failed Ibrance and possibly Fulvestrant. Here's the link if you're interested: bigthink.com/surprising-sci...

I wasn't aware that Ibrance and Fulvestrant were immunotherapy. I thought they were both Hormonal therapy.

You are right about Fulvestrant. Ibrance blocks certain enzymes and I guess does a little more than standard hormonal therapies. I get confused sometimes!
