This makes me both happy and sad to read. My mom was diagnosed with glioblastoma in 2013, and tried to enroll in a vaccine study but they didn't have enough material from the resectioned tunor to create the vaccine samples (or at least that's roughly what I remember the vaccine trial representative telling us). She died in 2018, which is more time than many glioblastoma patients get but I can't help but wonder if it would have been different if she'd been able to participate in the trial and had gotten the vaccine.

My dad got diagnosed in 2014 and died in 2017. Every headline like this regarding glioblastoma makes me both happy, and then sad, and then a bit guilty for being sad about inherently good news. It's a weird mix of emotions.
