Hi Adriana and Simba, welcome. Your future posts won't need to wait for approval so post away. I'm sorry you had to join our community, cancer is a heartbreaker. But we hope to make this journey as easy as possible and as Simba is already showing, he's going to keep amazing you with his ability to bounce back and get on with life! It sounds like he hasn't been home very long? 

I'm so glad you found our book useful! Feel free to ask any questions you'd like that you don't see answered there.

So are you in the states or Australia? I ask because Doxorubicin isn't the usual chemo treatment for osteosarcoma. In the US and Europe we tend to see most dogs getting 4 to 6 rounds of carboplatin for osteosarcoma. Did your vet say why they want to go the Doxo route?

As for the herbals...well I looked up that company and the very expensive 'remedies' they are selling. While I'm totally in favor of a full-spectrum approach like Dr. Dressler of the Dog Cancer Survival Guide , I'm very skeptical about things like this after managing this community for 12+ years. I'm not a vet, but I don't see any credible scientific evidence showing that the ingredients work. If they did, we would be hearing lots more about them. So I'll tell you what I told Duke's people when they also asked about herbal remedies for dog cancer:

As for alternatives, you’ll save yourself a lot of money and effort by talking to an oncologist who is more oriented to natural medicine. There is so much money that gets wasted by parents looking for cancer therapy, and lots of snake oil salespeople ready to take your dollars. A vet can help you cut through the garbage. 

Does this help? I hope so! Let me know OK? And keep us posted. Remember, you set the tone for Simba's recovery so the more pawsitive you can be, the more he will respond with improvement.
