My goodness Joy - you do have a lot going on! I hope your daughter's birthday party is a big success. My only suggestion regarding starting the Tykerb would be to have an "Immodium" Plan. You wouldn't want to have to be hanging out in the bathroom during the garage sale. I am so sorry to hear about your dog, pets have always been important to me, especially when they have been there during our b/c battles. It stinks when things seem like they pile up on us at times. I am hoping and praying for you that this combo will sock it to your liver mets and at least get you to stable disease before you know it. I also hope that in 3 months things will ease up a bit on the Tykerb. Enjoy your busy weekend and birthday wishes to your daughter.
