Our Mission

Guidance & Support for Cancer Patients

At Cancer Sherpa, you work directly with Clare to chart the course of your individual healthcare journey and have her as your personal advocate until you are able to advocate for yourself.

Clare provides guidance and support services from preliminary diagnosis to disease outcome and for every possible medical, emotional, and logistical step in between. We want every patient to benefit from our collective knowledge and experience. Clare leverages her vast network of medical, therapeutic, logistical, legal, and financial professionals to equip you with the skills you need to face cancer. Remember, cancer is tough, but so are you.

About Clare

My name is Clare Matschullat, and I am the founder and CEO of Cancer Sherpa. I know the pain, fear, and fury that brought you here, as I am also a cancer survivor. I entered college and adulthood as a cancer survivor and have spent the past twenty-five years building the network and skills to empower cancer patients, caretakers, and survivors to seek the best cancer and follow-up care available to them. 

Whether you just received a preliminary diagnosis, need assistance caring for a loved one with cancer, or want to join a survivor support group, I will help you thrive, not merely survive.  I wrote and live by my company’s mission: “(I) will advocate for you until you are able to advocate for yourself.”
