060502 -
060503 - Millie received the 2nd treatment of the 2nd cycle, and 6th overall
060504 - treatment for IBC with cetuximab on clinical study.  Good news today
060505 - that ANC blood counts from testing this morning increased above the
060506 - 1500 level, signaling safety for getting chemotherapy treatments, and
060507 - reversing the declining trend that began last July. ref SDS 0 P560
060508 - Since CA 15-3 has also improved by falling the lowest level in over a
060509 - year, ref SDS 0 2N5J, the doctor cancelled a meeting scheduled this
060510 - morning to consider changing treatments. ref SDS 0 PN6M

060905 - Normally there is no meeting on the 2nd treatment of a cycle in the
060906 - cetuximab drug trial, however, last week the doctor planned a meeting
060907 - today for follow up examination; this morning the meeting was

110408 - The receptionist advised that a few minutes earlier Jackie came by and
110409 - told her that Doctor Rugo has cancelled the meeting this morning to
110410 - assess changing the treatment.
110411 -
110412 -        [On 070315 Millie asked about coping emotionally with major
110413 -        changes in assessment of treatment on the cetuximab clinical
110414 -        study. ref SDS E4 6A7J
110416 -  ..
110417 - On 070301 Doctor Rugo scheduled an interim meeting today because blood
110418 - tests for ANC showed a weakening immune system, and CA 15-3 cancer
110419 - marker was questionable, ref SDS E0 Q57O, along with IBC metastatic
110420 - disease expanding. ref SDS E0 LB5L  The record at that time was not
110421 - clear whether progression of disease occurred mostly before or after
110422 - 070201 when Millie started treatment on the clinical study with
110423 - cetuximab.  Expanding IBC during the drug trial seems conflicting with
110424 - clinical examinations showing intensity of disease has subsided since
110425 - 070201. ref SDS E0 M68J
110427 -  ..
110428 - Previously, on 070130 the doctor planned to add carboplatin that
110429 - increases the strength of treatment, when IBC progresses. ref SDS C4
110430 - N13L  There was, however, concern last week on 070301 that adding
110431 - carboplatin would further decrease ANC blood counts, which were
110432 - already below the level of safety for approving treatment.  Weekly
110433 - treatments may not provide enough time for Millie's blood counts to
110434 - recover sufficiently to avoid the risk of infectious diseases with a
110435 - weakening immune system. ref SDS E0 VF60
110437 -  ..
110438 - The doctor ordered another blood test today out of sequence for the
110439 - treatment protocol of monthly tests, but for the purpose of evaluating
110440 - ANC, cited during the meeting at UCSF on 070201. ref SDS E0 528F  If
110441 - ANC has increased in the test today, then treatment can proceed, and
110442 - if CA 15-3 has also increased, then treatment may be changed by adding
110443 - carboplatin.  If ANC falls, treatment may have to be delayed, the
110444 - dosage reduced, or other measures taken to increase ANC, e.g.,
110445 - nupogeon.  If CA 15-3 has fallen, then treatment can continue today
110446 - unchanged. ref SDS E0 QN3F
110448 -  ..
110449 - Yesterday, Kaiser submitted data for CA 15-3 tests in February,
110450 - ref SDS E3 9Z9N, and results of the test last week on 070301 at UCSF
110451 - were also submitted; all test results are very favorable. ref SDS E3
110452 - U85L Additionally, ANC for the blood test this morning was favorable,
110453 - reversing a 6 month trend of decline, and rising above the level
110454 - prescribed for safe treatment. ref SDS 0 P560
110456 -  ..
110457 - The doctor evidently cancelled the meeting this morning, because
110458 - testing now seems to validate impressions of clinical improvement,
110459 - indicating the current treatment with cetuximab alone is effective for
110460 - Millie, and so there is no reason to change the protocol at this time
110461 - by adding carboplatin.
110462 -
110463 -        [On 071023 UCSF explains cancer marker applied to look more
110464 -        carefully and does not signal consideration of treatment change

260534 - was low last week on 070301. ref SDS E1 P560  Nola took immediate

260544 - regularly, and obtained guidance from the doctor and pharmacy, when
260545 - needed.  Nobody checked on her.  They did not know the protocol for
260546 - cetuximab requires a one (1) hour rest period after treatment.

260557 - was pleased the patient felt well enough to communicate energetically,
