      I am starting CMP-001 trial next week – https://clinicaltrials.gov/ct2/show/NCT02680184 – you might check to see if this is one for which you qualify?

      I am a mother with melanoma stage 3. My daughter is 22.  But I think what I am going to say holds for parents with children of all ages.  A long time ago, a good friend of mine who is a psychiatrist and family medicine doctor told me that one of the most important roles of any parent is to model behavior in stressful times that is genuine/true/not faked.  That is, we want our children to grow up understanding that there will be stressful times, that it is ok for adults to cry when they are scared, that is ok for us to share our emotions when we are scared or worried or in crisis. So do what feels right, and share what feels right with your kids.  They will react with their own kid views – and they will also support you, and comfort you.  And most importantly, they will learn from.
