Man o man, not the news I wanted to hear! A year ago today almost I was hanging out with Clark in San Diego sipping on fine wines (at our gracious host's dime, not Clark's!), and figured he had the thing in the bag.
Hope for the best buddy, Ryan

Hi Clark :D We haven't been officially introduced tho I've seen you at the last several fundraisers in JTree. I recently saw a picture of you here on ST. A grate bitd photo with many of my friends from that time machine era including Maria who just posted.
I don't know what physical challenge you face, but I am well acquainted with the fight, having fought one together with my loved one.
My prayers and positive thoughts are with you. I'm sure you have a huge group of friends and loved ones to draw strength and support from, but if you ever want to talk to someone who has been there in the struggle please call anytime. Peace and Joy, lynne

As Clark does not have a computer, when I was speaking to him on the telephone I read him the posts on this thread. He was genuinely touched. Those of you who know Clark know that he is very modest and he was surprised that so many people would wish him well. He asked me to post the following in response:
“I thank all of you, my friends and well wishers, for the kind words and positive thoughts. I have to undergo chemotherapy every Friday, but I feel alright now. I will have an update posted when I learn more.”
I speak with Clark fairly regularly and if anyone wants me to pass on a more private message to him I am happy to do it. Just send me a p.m. through this site.

Update on Clark. I just got the phone with Clark. He is at Esinhower under going his last round of chemo. He had a reaction to something, perhaps the chemo drip was too fast- he really didnt know, but he had to be revived and is under observation now. He was not very clear as I was talking to him, so details are a bit foggy.
He could really use your good thoughts right now. I will post more when I get it.
TY

I am speaking to Clark right now and he asked me to post an update for his friends. He said he was getting his chemo and he collapsed, vomited and passed out. The paramedics were called. They had to revive him as he was unconscious and having trouble breathing. He was taken to the ER and given an MRI. He was told he had some kind of bad reaction that produced a seizure. He was pronounced fit and sent home where he is now resting. He is still feeling poorly, but happy to still be with us. However he says he may need to take a day off from climbing to rest.
