She continued of the uncertainty she faced. “I received yet another blow as the oncologist whispered, ‘We are unable to treat you!’ My husband and I walked out of the doctor’s office holding hands with tears in our eyes worried I was going to die. We sat down on the floor right outside the door and cried as he held me in his arms, wondering what’s next. A few moments later one of the receptionists was on her way to lunch and on her way out, saw us. She stated that she had been trying to reach me and that she had found an organization that would be paying for my entire treatment! That was my ‘But God’ moment! I knew that the battle was not over!”
While Clark confesses that coping with breast cancer had its “highs and lows,” despite a solid support system of family and friends who “deposited so much love and support” into her life, things began to turn around once she began chemotherapy. “I went to receive chemo every three weeks — it was my one on one time with God,” she said. Adding that it was during that time she knew “everything would be ok.” So, she “began to journal to one-day share with the world my testimony!”
As for life after treatment, Clark says, “life after chemo has actually been an amazing journey. Me being diagnosed was a pivotal moment in my life.”
In fact, it was because of her experience that The Pink Angels Foundation was birthed. The Pink Angels Foundation encourages breast cancer patients to hang up their wings and instead, allow Clark and other supporters to carry them through the journey.
