This is so amazing.  I am so thankful for the research and hard work from these two men as well as the countless scientists, doctors, healthcare professionals, and fellow cancer survivors whose contributions led to the creation of the immunotherapy drugs that are literally saving my life.  If I could hug these guys I would.  Pretty exciting stuff.

And there is more

In addition to the Medicine Nobel, the 2018 Chemistry Nobel went to people whose work led to the development of monoclonal antibody drugs (-mab) which include all of the current immunotherapy treatments.

Great stuff, isn't it?
