270407 - Blood counts decrease this week, shown by the Lab report today with
270408 - NEUTS 1.37, ref SDS 0 QY6H, compared with NEUTS 2.41 last week on
270409 - 080807, ref SDS E4 QY6H  This is below UCSF minimum of 1.8 for Millie
270410 - to safely get chemotherapy treatment.  Since today is the bye week in
270411 - the cycle for Carboplatin, low blood counts do not prevent getting
270412 - treatment with cetuximab today.
270414 -  ..
270415 - At the time Millie left the hospital today, Diane had not received
270416 - instructions from Brigid on Neupogen.  This suggests the Chemotherapy
270417 - Orders on 080724 that indicate Neupogen treatment is not required this
270418 - week are in effect.
270420 -  ..
270421 - Decrease in blood counts today demonstrates a roller coaster above and
270422 - below specified target from week to week, even while getting a steady
270423 - dose of Neupogen in recent months.
270425 -  ..
270426 - Labs showing NEUTS 1.37 today may be close enough so that not getting
270427 - Carboplatin today enables skipping Neupogen this week, as well.  If
270428 - so, Kaiser has to be notifed to cancel treatments scheduled in the
270429 - Infusion Clinic on Friday and Saturday, per instructions from Bonnie
270430 - last Saturday on 080809. ref SDS E7 WJ4O
