0408 - Progress
0409 -
040901 - There was a staff meeting at 0800, so treatment was delayed until
040902 - 0900. We met Laura, and were saddened to hear that her mother, who
040903 - has been traveling from Minnesota coming to the Infusion Clinic in San
040904 - Francisco to assist Laura, has been diagnosed with ductal carcinoma in
040905 - situ, which is low grade form of breast cancer. She has decided to
040906 - have a dual mastectomy, since she is over 70.
040908 - ..
040909 - Catherine submitted the lab report showing Millie's CA 15-3 climbed to
040910 - 51 for the blood test last week on 080110. ref SDS 18 A16M
040912 - ..
040913 - This presents a declining rate of increase, which in some cases has
040914 - preceeded actual decline.
040916 - ..
040917 - The lab report also shows Magnesium was tested on 080110, contrary to
040918 - indications during the meeting at UCSF that testing Magnesium occurs
040919 - only "occassionally," ref SDS 17 JH6F Late reporting for Magnesium
040920 - aligns with the Chemotherapy order on 070201 showing Magnesium should
040921 - be tested every 4 weeks to start a new cycle of treatment. ref SDS 2
040922 - 5594
040924 - ..
040925 - This record indicates communication error. Perhaps Magnesium was not
040926 - listed in the order for blood tests on 080110, or it was listed and
040927 - the Lab forgot to test it. When Millie asked the medical team why
040928 - Magnesium was not tested, ref SDS 17 JH6F, to assess effectiveness of
040929 - treatment for low Magnesium on 071213, ref SDS 11 HH5I, explanation
040930 - that Magnesium is tested only "occasionally," seemed ambiguous.
040931 - ref SDS 17 S24K
040933 - ..
040934 - Evidently, after discussing absence of Magnesium on the Lab report
040935 - during the meeting on 080110 the medical team investigated and
040936 - discovered the Chemotherapy Order requires testing Magnesium every 4
040937 - weeks, as shown on 070201. ref SDS 2 5594 The order was then amended
040938 - for the Lab to conform testing on 080110 with the Chemotherapy Order
040939 - by adding a test for Magnesium.
040940 -
040941 - [On 080403 Magnesium was again not reported for the blood test
040942 - to the start the next cycle. ref SDS 19 RW6F
040944 - ..
040945 - [On 080404 Brigid reported that Magnesium was again added to
040946 - the specification for the blood test on 080403, and the report
040947 - shows Magnesium 1.5, which is well below the target range of
040948 - 1.8, ref SDS 20 O059, and so required Millie to get treatment
040949 - again. ref SDS 20 OP6U
040951 - ..
040952 - The report today for the test on 080110 shows Magnesium increased to
040953 - 1.8, which is the low end of the target range. This shows response to
040954 - treatment, supporting Brigid's decision not to continue treatment for
040955 - Magnesium, ref SDS 17 JH6F, which was given on 071213 to recover from
040956 - the lab test showing Magnesium fell below the target range.
