090509 - Y14O  CA 15-3 36 was not available to the medical team, until a few
090510 - days after the meeting today, due a lag in reporting on this test.  A
090511 - week later on 070531, UCSF reported significant increase from 29 to
090512 - 37, which aligns with testing at Kaiser, ref SDS 0 2N5J, and raises
090513 - concern about relapse and changing the treatment.  Rising CA 15-3
090514 - appears in conflict with CT test results that report no metastatic
090515 - disease, and with visual examination showing IBC rash continues to

780409 - CA 15-3 29 reported by UCSF a few weeks ago on 070426. ref SDS 70 087J
780410 - Rising cancer marker aligns with concerns raised by Kaiser's test on

780412 - by Kaiser on 070516. ref SDS 77 RH9H

780418 - At that time, on 070516 Kaiser was asked to verify test data and
780419 - coordinate findings with UCSF on rising CA 15-3 in relation to patient
780420 - history showing CA 15-3 declined substantially during the prior
780421 - period. ref SDS 77 ZJ9N  The next day, Kaiser reported using a
780422 - different calibration method from UCSF, which accounts for the large
780423 - disparity in test results, ref SDS 79 NT3O, but does not address the
780424 - change in direction from falling to rising cancer marker diagnostics,
780425 - ref SDS 79 H38K, and noted in Millie's letter to Kaiser the next day
780426 - on 070517. ref SDS 79 IV9S

780436 - On 070517 UCSF responded to notice from Millie of rising CA 15-3 56 on
780437 - 070516, ref SDS 77 J55T, and proposed avoiding cross checks to verify
780438 - accuracy of laboratory work. ref SDS 79 466H  UCSF indicated Kaiser's
780439 - findings do not raise concerns about progression of Millie's cancer
780440 - and treatment. ref SDS 79 6E4G
780441 -
780442 -        [On 070531 UCSF not concerned results of blood test today show
780443 -        CA 15-3 37 rising 30% from the prior report on 070426, because
780444 -        CT scans show no metastatic cancer, and IBC inflammation
780445 -        appears to be subsiding. ref SDS 82 NQ6K
780447 -  ..
780448 - Nurses Notes on treatment in the Infusion Clinic on 070517 show UCSF
780449 - considered testing CA 15-3 again, ref SDS 79 JU5F, in response to
780450 - notice in Millie's letter on 070516 transmitting Kaiser's report on CA
780451 - 15-3 56. ref SDS 77 J55T
780453 -  ..
780454 - Testing today aligns with considerations on 070517 that CA 15-3 cancer
780455 - marker has stopped falling, and begun to rise again, signalling
780456 - possible relapse under the current treatment.  Rising CA 15-3 reported
780457 - by Kaiser and UCSF seems conflicting with CT testing, most recently on
780458 - 070520.  Review during the examination today shows no findings of
780459 - metastatic disease that might cause CA 15-3 to rise.  Examination
780460 - today shows IBC rash at all sites continues to subside.  Implication
780461 - is that cancer is expanding broadly at a microscopic level that
780462 - registers in the CA 15-3 cancer marker test, but is too small for
780463 - identification with CT image testing and visual observation IBC rash
