A Mom Takeover

-
Wow! So thrilled at seeing the thoughts, concerns and well wishes, that folks are posting. And how about these Clark kids, Spencer & Madison are our Crown Jewels. We love all of you! 

Please know you’re welcome to call and or text any of us, any time. Feeling the love and support however we can get it works for us!!

How are we doing?? 
If not for the medical tests indicating there’s a monster lurking beneath the surface, and the speedy loss of weight, we’d be none the wiser. David isn’t in any physical pain at all and our spirts are determined to knock this shit out of the park! My husband is a warrior and is preparing for battle. We’re calling all his soldiers to the field - you all will have a role to play. 

What can you do?? 
Down the road we’re going to need folks to be his chemo buddy, prepare for endless story telling. Grabbing a chocolate shake with DC  (the idea that he doesn’t have to count calories is really pissing me off) or humming a few bars of Brick House with him - start this at your own risk! There will be endless possibilities. He’s already telling me he can’t possibly  take the garbage out because, we’ll you know.. he has cancer!

As we have always done and will continue to do... (mainly because we think we’re so funny) we will use humor to weather this storm. And we encourage you all to join us.

As you all know this isn’t the first Rodeo for Clark & Company. All right, say it with me. Right now. Where ever you are... We’re gunna fight for our right to P.A.R.T.Y —- May the force be with you, it is with us - because of all of you!

XOXO - LC & DC


**As we wrap up test's and wait on Dr. P & Gang - our next oncoming appointment will be with oncology on Feb. 23rd**

#KeepingUpWithTheClarks

I'd love to say the fam and I were starting this blog to entertain you all with our exciting and ever changing lives - alas that's not why we're here. Dad has been served up a diagnosis of adenocarcinoma ( ad·e·no·car·ci·no·ma) with a side of perigastric lymph node involvement. And because that meant absolutely nothing to me besides, "Your Dad has Cancer," here is what trusty Google has to say about it: Adenocarcinoma is a type of cancer that forms in mucus-secreting glands that line the inside of one of your organs (in our case, we're talking stomach) And as far as perigastric goes - it is essentially a pretentious medical word for "around the stomach." How'd we get here? Well. Dad was either on track to becoming a weight loss guru or something was not going quite right. He has lost 75+ pounds since about late September. A quick 4 months. With some added difficulties keeping food down, Mom sent his ass in for a full body check up. What wa

Supposed to do?

-
Was I supposed to accomplish something this year..? Was I supposed to somehow manage to find peace in your death? Was I supposed to find God? Was I supposed to be stronger, better, a rock? Was I supposed to pack, unpack and repack my over 50lbs of emotional baggage? Spoiler alert, Dad. I did none of those things. And let me tell ya, that extra $100 dollars in baggage fees issa real bitch. So what did I do?  Well. I resented and avoided. I pushed away. I pretended and deflected. But I also bought Cinnabon cinnamon rolls for Christmas morning (and proceeded to eat the entire box alone) thinking of all the Christmas mornings spent with you, ma and Spenie. I taught spin classes to your playlist. " I LOVE your music !" Did you know you can do sprint intervals to Brick House? (do you even know what a sprint interval is?... ) I thought about you fondly, and often. I had Valentines. Mom, Spen and Cherry were a close, close second. And I realized, finally
