Founder & Independent Cancer Nurse Navigator
Meet your cancer nurse navigator
"I couldn't find the support we needed — so I built it."
I am Jeanette Clark, an Independent Cancer Nurse Navigator and a Registered Nurse with over 30 years of clinical experience — including more than 20 years in nursing education and a Certified Nurse Educator (CNE)
It wasn't until cancer touched my own family that I truly understood what patients and caregivers face. My husband Russell was diagnosed with Stage IV Metastatic Melanoma of the brain. The disease progressed rapidly. Suddenly we were navigating a maze of appointments, treatment decisions, and insurance paperwork — all while trying to hold each other up emotionally.
What struck me most was how alone we felt in that process. West Texas is a strong, resilient community — but the kind of hands-on, personal guidance we needed simply wasn't available locally. So I created Guided Cancer Support of West Texas with one mission: to make sure no one in our community has to face cancer without a guide by their side.
This organization is built on both clinical expertise and lived experience. I understand the fear, the confusion, and the exhaustion — and I'm here to walk with you through every step.
Our Mission
To ensure that every person in West Texas facing cancer — patient, caregiver, or family member — has access to the guidance, education, and support they need to navigate the journey with confidence and hope.
Who We Serve
Support for Everyone Touched by Cancer
Cancer affects the whole family — not just the person with the diagnosis. My services are designed for anyone whose life has been touched by cancer, at any stage of the journey.
- Newly diagnosed patients finding their footing
- Patients in active treatment managing side effects and decisions
- Survivors navigating life after treatment
- Spouses and partners carrying the weight alongside their loved one
- Adult children supporting a parent through diagnosis
- Caregivers of all kinds — family, friends, and chosen family
What We Stand For
Our Core Values
Compassion First
Every person who reaches out is met with genuine care. I lead with empathy, always — because this journey is hard enough without feeling judged or rushed.
Support for the Whole Family
Cancer affects everyone around the person diagnosed — spouses, children, parents, and friends. I extend my care to all of them, because no one in that circle should carry this alone.
Knowledge Is Power
Understanding your diagnosis and options reduces fear. I believe informed patients and families make stronger, more confident decisions.
Community Over Isolation
The cancer journey can feel incredibly lonely. I am here to change that — connecting people to resources and support so no one walks this road alone.
Our Approach
Personal. Present. Practical.
We don't believe in one-size-fits-all support. Every person's cancer journey is different — shaped by their diagnosis, their family, their fears, and their strengths.
I work directly with each person who reaches out — taking the time to understand their specific situation and walking with them, not ahead of them, through every step. Whether you need help understanding a treatment plan, finding local resources, or simply someone who gets it to talk to, I'm here.
