Public Speaking

Dr Sue is a boarded veterinary medical cancer specialist, book author, radio co-host, lecturer, and Certified Veterinary Journalist.  Veterinarians and pet owners know Dr Sue for her positive approach to cancer in pets. Cancer is not a death sentence. While we all want a cure for cancer, Dr Sue encourages veterinarians and pet owners to think of many cancers in pets as chronic conditions that may require chronic therapy, like kidney disease or heart disease. As an oncologist, she recommends treatment when the pet is likely to live longer with treatment than without. And thankfully most pets feel good, if not great, during treatment. Her motto is “live longer, live well”.

Dr Sue’s sessions provide practical cancer information and an inspiring approach to treating and diagnosing cancer. Treating cancer does not have to be depressing. There is hope. Dr Sue’s sessions are engaging, educational and incorporate her fifteen-plus years of clinical experience with case presentations from her practice. Dr Sue is also an advocate of early cancer detection and raising cancer awareness with her “See Something, Do Something. Why Wait? Aspirate ® .” lumps and bumps detection program.
