Hi Pinkgirl,
I think (not sure) from what I read in this article that the drug Nexavar is assisting the AI to function.
The addition of Nexavar to Arimidex helps restore sensitivity to Arimidex among women with breast cancer.
This is first article I have seen anything on AI and this situation...
Additional information...
