I'm really sorry for what you're going through. I lost someone very close to me to cancer recently, but it was detected so very late that treatment options were severely limited (immunotherapy was off the table). Personalised cancer vaccines really seem to be the most promising avenue there is at the moment, as the problem seems to always have been that unless you can kill the tumour right to the last cell whatever is left will just adapt and grow back more resilient than before. I generally scan over tumour shrinkage in these reports (even substantial shrinkage) as palliative in nature (maybe I'm naive but I've trained myself to look at it this way). Elimination of tumours (even in a subset of patients) gives me hope as it at least means something there really is effective and can be revised on later.
