As a veterinary oncologist, Dr. Renee Alsarraf has treated countless pets with cancer. Then, she was diagnosed with the disease herself. She struggled to cope with the treatment and uncertainty until she drew inspiration from her four-legged patients and family pets. One lesson she learned from dogs is that they never waste their time with worry. "I try to continually remind myself: Where has the worrying ever gotten me?" Alsarraf said. "It tends to be our way of trying to control something that we have no control over. But it is such negative energy that only serves to bring us down, especially in times of stress or trouble. I know my dog is happy every day when the sun comes up. It's just such a nicer, better way to live."
