200503 - The doctor performed due diligence on UCSF proposals to treat Millie
200504 - in a clinical study with a new drug for breast cancer. ref SDS 0 P256
200505 - Kaiser therefore delayed starting treatment today with Navelbine to
200506 - replace Taxotere and capecitabine, which have become ineffective, so
200507 - that Millie qualifies for the clinical study. ref SDS 0 Y45G  Kaiser
200508 - and UCSF have agreed on arrangements for referral authorization and
200509 - payment of costs for Millie's treatment at UCSF. ref SDS 0 PK68  The
200510 - doctor advised that referral to UCSF is the best course for treating
200511 - Millie's IBC.  Clinical studies expand the list of chemotherapy drugs
200512 - for treating Millie, which is otherwise limited by a complex patient
200513 - profile. ref SDS 0 LU3J  Cetuximab and carboplatin in the UCSF drug
200514 - trial are powerful new drugs targeted to breast cancer cells, and so
200515 - do not cause general harm to the entire body and immune system, as do
200516 - conventional chemotherapies available for treating Millie. ref SDS 0
200517 - PK7L  Millie asked that UCSF be notified to expedite treatment to
200518 - avoid her cancer from cascading out of control, since her last
200519 - treatment was over a month ago, and examination and diagnostics today
200520 - show that IBC has been rising on her chest. ref SDS 0 Y46N  Kaiser has
200521 - not had time to perform trend analysis to determine increased risk
200522 - from pulmonary embolism and heart disorder of enlarged right
200523 - ventricle. ref SDS 0 CV5L  The recent PET/CT test failed to perform
200524 - comparisons ordered by the doctor to support diagnosis. ref SDS 0 XX8H
200525 - The doctor advised that Millie may have permanent lung damage, and may
200526 - not be able to recover her former level of fitness. ref SDS 0 MA9K
200527 - The doctor told Millie she can resume exercising in the gym.
200528 - ref SDS 0 G35K  Stethoscope examination and Sa02 diagnostic indicates
200529 - favorable cardio-pulmonary function. ref SDS 0 Q35O  Millie remains
200530 - concerned about diagnosis of enlarged right ventricle in the CT test
200531 - on 060930, and rising symptoms of fatigue, weakness, shortness of
200532 - breath.  She requested CT testing and examination by a heart
200533 - specialist to assess severity of heart disorder before resuming
200534 - vigorous exercise. ref SDS 0 SU4L  The doctor explained a practice of
200535 - ignoring irrelevant matters to save time focusing on immediate
200536 - problems, and emphasized the importance of context. ref SDS 0 MA8O
200537 - The doctor indicated that Cor Pulmonale is not an immediate problem
200538 - compared to the current crisis on making referral for treating
