Welcome to the forum. It is amazing how much progress immunotherapy has made in cancer treatment over the last couple of years. My husband was in a phase 1 immunotherapy trial back in 2013. It seems that your husband is doing really well. To be able to swallow, I believe, makes a lot of difference to how the patient feels. John had a feeding tube for two years before he had his esophagus opened by a new procedure.
I wish things continue to improve for Mike. Please keep us posted.
