050410 - Date: Wed, 08 Apr 2009 11:25:08 -0700
050422 - ..
050423 - 2. Thanks for your call yesterday morning [on 090407 1121]
050424 - scheduling a meeting, ref SDS D7 4M6F, with Tara on 090423
050425 - 0830. You indicated the doctor will not be in the clinic on
050426 - the 23rd. During the meeting on 090312 [0800], Tara planned to
050427 - consult with Doctor Rugo on treatment ideas. ref SDS 89 SS4F
050428 - Doctor Rugo's letter on [090401 0121] reported expectations
050429 - that radiation and hyperthermia treatments would be very
050430 - effective. ref SDS B8 K56O, Accordingly, hoping we can begin
050431 - consideration of work plan options requested by Doctor Johnson
050432 - to treat my cancer as a chronic disease. [shown in case study
050433 - during meeting with Doctor Johnson on 090325 0830. ref SDS 97
050434 - L15M]
050436 - ..
050437 - 3. Examination [at home] this morning shows significant recovery
050438 - from radiation side effects, including pain reduction and a big
050439 - rise in energy. My feeling is that treatment of IBC has been
050440 - very effective.
050442 - ..
050443 - 4. There is remaining concern about...
050445 - ..
050446 - 1. Condition in the right axilla, which did not get radiation
050447 - according to the treatment plan received on 090226 1342.
050448 - ref SDS 80 D452 The left supraclavicular was given
050449 - radiation even though the CT test on 081230 reported no
050450 - evidence of swelled LN [shown in review on 090107,
050451 - ref SDS 48 QS7G, which had been reported on the prior CT
050452 - test on 081107 [reviewed on 081113, ref SDS 40 5O6N].
050453 - Thus, by 081230 treatment with sunitinib reduced the LN in
050454 - the left supraclavicular below detectable size for CT
050455 - tests. But everyone could feel the LN had swelled again in
050456 - the left supraclavicular, noted by Tara during the meeting
050457 - on 090129, then by Doctor Hsu on 090205. By contrast, CT
050458 - testing has shown 3 LNs of stable size in the right
050459 - axillary for 12 months, but these have been more difficult
050460 - to palpate, perhaps they are deeper. Possibly, the CT test
050461 - Doctor Hsu did at UCSF on 090209 did not support giving
050462 - radiation treatment to the right axilla. The report on the
050463 - this test has not submitted for review. The CT test at
050464 - Kaiser next week on 090413 will enable review of these
050465 - issues [ordered at Kaiser on 090325, ref SDS 97 TE4O].

050468 - Bumps Vertical Line about 2" Left Right Breast Possible IBC
050469 -
050470 -
050471 - 2. While the [left] chest seems significantly clear of IBC
050472 - nodules, this morning I noticed ...a few very small bumps
050473 - about an inch below the breastbone area. These may have
050474 - been present all along and are still getting smaller.
050475 - Don't recall this issue being considered previously. Tara
050476 - will make an assessment on 090423.
050478 - ..
050479 - 3. Sprinkles of red blotches on lower left arm seem to be
050480 - getting lighter [reported in letter to medical team on
050481 - 090331 2047, ref SDS B5 Q69V, and identified by Doctor Hsu
050482 - on 090401 0032, as IBC, ref SDS B6 R24X], as I had hoped,
050483 - based on patient history of similar condition on right arm
050484 - in 2007; so, maybe there is no IBC at that location.
050485 - Tara's examination on 090423 will evaluate. [it would be
050486 - the 8th relapse of cancer, reported on 090331 2047.

050491 - weeks, in order to prevent losing control. ref SDS E0
050492 - 9S8Y

050495 - 4. Cancer spreading internally which has not been evident in
050496 - patient history [shown by CT tests listed on 090107,
050497 - ref SDS 48 GM3N], but could be a factor without getting
050498 - chemo for 3 months, also will be assessed with the CT test
050499 - on 090413.
050501 - ..
050502 - 5. On 090325 Doctor Johnson scheduled a blood draw in the Infusion
050503 - Clinic at Kaiser in Walnut Creek next week on 090413 1500. A
050504 - CT test is scheduled half an hour later at 1530, ref SDS 97
050505 - TE4O, so that I have time to get the blood draw and walk from
050506 - Infusion on the 2nd floor to CT in the basement about quarter
050507 - mile through the halls, and so that the CT Department can use
050508 - the port accessed in the Chemotherapy Clinic for injecting
050509 - contrast medium. Results of tests on 090413 should be
050510 - available for review a few days prior to meeting at UCSF on
050511 - 090423 so that people can be prepared.
050513 - ..
050514 - 6. Yesterday [on 090407 1442], Kaiser changed the time of the CT
050515 - test from 1530 to 1500 in order to avoid overtime expense for
050516 - the IS staff who observe the test under Kaiser's interpretation
050517 - of regulations using Power Port technology. ref SDS D8 L76N
050518 - This requires changing the time of the blood draw to access the
050519 - port from 1500 to 1430 [on 090407 1442 called Kaiser
050520 - Chemotherapy Infusion Clinic to changed the time of the blood
050521 - draw on 090413, ref SDS D8 W43J], or possibly earlier, if the
050522 - CT folks want more current creatinine data than the prior test
050523 - at UCSF on 090129. We have a week to sort this out at Kaiser.
050524 - Since I have not had chemotherapy for 3 months, seems like
050525 - creatinine should be okay, unless radiation can have an
050526 - effect??
050528 - ..
050529 - 7. I have not had a high temperature for several days in a row,
050530 - and there has been no repeat of cough and shortness of breath
050531 - reported once on 090402 1947. ref SDS C6 H93P Doctor Johnson
050532 - was notified as requested on 090403 by Doctor Hsu and Doctor
050533 - Rugo, 090403 1954, ref SDS D1 NW4N]. and made arrangements [on
050534 - 090406 1353] to see me at Kaiser, ref SDS D3 M19I]. Since
050535 - symptoms have subsided, we may not need another examination.

050544 - 8. With respect to coordinating Kaiser's Outside Referrals
050545 - department to include Doctor Rugo on the current authorization,
050546 - I assume that Amanda has taken appropriate action, as discussed
050547 - yesterday [on 090407 1121, ref SDS D7 4M6F].

050550 - 9. By copy notifying Gloria at Kaiser's Coagulation Control

050553 - treatment for PE.
050555 - ..
050556 - 10. Amanda, yesterday you planned to coordinate with Doctor Rugo
050557 - about meeting on a day other than April 23rd so that she can
050558 - support examination, since she is not in the clinic on the
050559 - 23rd. Please call to let me know if there is a change. In any
050560 - case, results for the CT and blood tests will be submitted to
050561 - the medical team for review several days prior to the 23rd, so
050562 - Doctor Rugo can discuss with Tara, as needed, for meeting on
050563 - the 23rd. This provides flexibility for comprehensive care.
