061103 -
061104 -    1.  Thanks very much for timely submission of your opinion on
061105 -        September 20, which we received on the 22nd. ref SDS 58 HP3H
061106 -        Mil met with the surgeon the next day on Friday the 23rd.
061107 -        ref SDS 60 0001  Your opinion helped guide discussions.
061108 -        ref SDS 60 Z46K
061110 -         ..
061111 -    2.  The summary of meeting on Friday should give you a flavor of
061112 -        the surgeon's ideas and approach.  If you want to know more
061113 -        about anything, just click a link, or call me, and we can step
061114 -        through to what you want to know. ref DIT 1 4O6F
061116 -         ..
061117 -    3.  For the first time in 10 years working with Kaiser, ref DIT 1
061118 -        H97F, yesterday we received notes from the doctor on this
061119 -        meeting. ref SDS 61 0001
061121 -         ..
061122 -    4.  The doctor's notes generally align with the record of the
061123 -        meeting. ref DIT 1 H97K  A key point that requires consultant
061124 -        feedback is Kaiser's view that, if testing shows no disease,
061125 -        then a "standard mastectomy" can be performed.  This seems
061126 -        conflicting with your opinion. ref SDS 61 EU67
061128 -         ..
061129 -    5.  By copy, I am, also, asking Doctor Grissom to comment, if time
061130 -        permits. ref DIT 1 E68J
061132 -         ..
061133 -    6.  Later today, we will meet with Kaiser's plastic surgeon.  My
061134 -        sense is that this meeting is wired to reject the scope for a
061135 -        "very wide mastectomy," leading back to Kaiser's approach for a
061136 -        "standard mastectomy."  Millie indicated initially that, if all
061137 -        the tests are favorable, why fight city hall, -- go with the
061138 -        standard mastectomy that Kaiser proposes. ref DIT 1 S57O
061140 -         ..
061141 -    7.  If possible, we should try to layout reasoning why, if both PET
061142 -        tests, and thin skin biopsies (3 - 4 are planned) find no
061143 -        evidence of distant nor local cancer, what risks arise from a
061144 -        standard mastectomy? ref DIT 1 N68M  Originally, the surgeon at
061145 -        Kaiser, Doctor Riley-Paull, indicated on 040429, when IBC was
061146 -        detected by her biopsy, that treatment would be chemo,
061147 -        mastectomy, more chemo and maybe radiation. ref SDS 9 SD7F
061148 -        Curb side research on 040517 indicated that this is a common
061149 -        approach for IBC. ref SDS 10 XG7K  The primary care physician,
061150 -        Doctor Johnson, seems to feel this can work for Mil, and so is
061151 -        pressuring the Surgery Department along these lines.
061153 -         ..
061154 -    8.  That's where things stand.
