041083 -       25.  Multiple relapse of cancer causes cells
041084 -            to mutate into disease that resists
041085 -            treatment; Millie surviving 6 relapses
041086 -            needs highly specialized care and
041087 -            so should ask Doctor Rugo to begin
041088 -            planning for the next relapse
041089 -            to treat Millie's cancer as
041090 -            a chronic disease................. 090213, ref SDS 65 R75G

041121 -       30.  Collaboration on case management for
041122 -            long-term survivors of cancer becomes
041123 -            frustrating because everybody loses
041124 -            control of increasingly

041129 -       31.  Lab and CT test reports illustrate
041130 -            frustration, because providers do not

041132 -            from other doctorsrs in the medical
041133 -            chart, because doctors prefer to
041134 -            rely on local diagnostics
041135 -            rather than referral
041136 -            data.............................. 090213, ref SDS 65 NY4H
041138 -             ..
041139 -       32.  Cancer marker CA 15-3 wide disparities
041140 -            between Kaiser and UCSF illustrates
041141 -            why doctor's rely on local data

041155 -            for UCSF to start next treatment in
041156 -            time to avoid losing control of
041157 -            Millie's cancer................... 090213, ref SDS 65 QX5O

041164 -            to use "lower dose" radiation rather
041165 -            than Doxil.  Will both be
