Fight With Paxton
On March 27th, 2017 Paxton was diagnosed with Nephroblastoma, otherwise known as Wilms Tumor which is a form of pediatric kidney cancer (https://www.cancer.org/cancer/wilms-tumor/about/what-is-wilms-tumor.html). His cancer is bilateral meaning that the tumor exists on both kidneys. Paxton has a very large tumor on his left kidney that is multiple times the size of his actual kidney, they are calling that the "grapefruit." The tumor on the right kidney is much smaller which they are referring to as the "raspberry."
Fortunately, the cancer has not spread to any other organs but the large tumor itself has grown around a large vein that carries blood from the heart to the lower half of the body. This vein is not compromised but it does complicate things when talking about surgical removal meaning Paxton and his family will need to leave Kalispell to get the surgery done.
The Clark family has a tough road ahead in the coming months, both emotionally and financially. Any help you can give would be greatly appreciated!
On behalf of the Clark family, thank you for all of the love, prayers and support over the last week. God Bless.
