I've been torn about what to do next for Lexie, who has a pretty advanced case, including lung mets. Anyone want to chime in with their experiences with Chinese herbs? I wish I could find a knowledgeable doctor and herbal specialist who would do a phone consult with me...kind of like a Dr. Loops but for Chinese herbal remedies. 

Lexie has an advanced STS with lung mets already present (biopsy update post here). Herbs that sound interesting include:

Artemisinin – when cancer cells kill themselves http://pathwith.....hemselves/

Good post --> http://nutritio.....temisinin/

Xue Fu Zhu Yu Tang – supporting the lungs against cancer (noted as helpful for dealing with lung mets)  http://pathwith.....st-cancer/

Si Miao San – slowing down cancer and inflammation; also noted good for Cushing’s http://pathwith.....lammation/

Any experiences, good or bad? Anyone want to share in terms of dosing regimens, costs, frequency of tests, vet visits, etc.? (I'm already a big fan of Yunnan Baiyo, btw.)  

Any others I'm missing?

Advice or insights welcome...thanks in advance.

Joined Club Tripawd April 2014 & Lexie loved life on 3 legs! Advice: Start physical therapy as soon as your vet clears it, especially hydrotherapy if available :-) See Lexie pics here.
