040918 -    1.  Subject: IBC Spread Lower Left Arm CA 15-3 271 Rises Slightly

040927 -         ..
040928 -    2.  On 090412 reported IBC seems to be spreading on lower left arm,
040929 -        [along perimeter of areas treated with radiation and
040930 -        hyperthermia], ref SDS 7 9S8Y, following up Doctor Hsu's letter
040931 -        on 090331 [received 090401 0019] advising that coloration at
040932 -        this location was likely IBC. ref SDS 3 R24X
040934 -         ..
040935 -    3.  There has been further spread of rash [first reported on
040936 -        090331, ref SDS 2 Q69V].  It is still fairly light and occurs
040937 -        in isolated patches; but there are more of these now than a few
040938 -        days ago, i.e., they "filling in" [Millie requested immediate
040939 -        treatment in her letter on 090412 2241, ref SDS 7 9S9V].  This
040940 -        aligns with Doctor Johnson's analysis on 090213 that my cancer
040941 -        has become more aggressive, so that timely treatment becomes a
040942 -        big factor caring for the "chronic disease" scenario.

040946 -            agenda for meeting at UCSF on 090423 cites new IBC on lower

040952 -            [On 090521 2006 Doctor Johnson's letter to Millie without
040953 -            copy to medical team refuses to prescribe treatment and
040954 -            tells Millie she can "choose" any treatment she wants,
040955 -            because no treatment is superior for Millie's patient
040956 -            profile, ref SDS 14 9Q9H; Doctor Johnson warns Millie that
040957 -            she needs treatment by the end of the week, which is in
040958 -            just 12 hours, because her 8th relapse of cancer is
040959 -            progressing rapidly, ref SDS 14 HC8O, and Kaiser tells
040960 -            Millie to call Medicare rather than Kaiser for prescribing
040961 -            her treatment to recover from 8th relapse of cancer.

040975 -        publish findings from the CT test on 090413 in a single,

040984 -        2241, ref SDS 7 9S9V].  This or whether treatment can be
040985 -        delayed until I return OA 090508, as set out in the letter to
