040915 - She feels the new problem may be caused by oral contrast medium for
040916 - the CT test.
040918 -  ..
040919 - She has not had these symptoms previously with the 50+ prior CT tests,
040920 - so this could be something else.  There is no evident conduct nor

040951 -    2.  Thank you for expediting my treatment with MPA, adding a
040952 -        meeting to your schedule on 090616 1200.

040954 -            [On 090614 1027 Doctor Rugo responds and confirms meeting

040956 -
040957 -            [On 090616 1245 Millie met with Doctor Rugo and Tara to
040958 -            start MPA treatment for recovery from 8th relapse of
040959 -            cancer. ref SDS 9 TP9L
040961 -         ..
040962 -    3.  By copy to Catherine and Diane, confirm I will get the blood
040963 -        test in the morning on Tuesday for the MPA protocol, and which
040964 -        Mike ordered in the Chemotherapy Infusion clinic on the 5th
040965 -        floor prior to meeting with you at noon in the Breast Care
040966 -        Clinic.
040968 -         ..
040969 -    4.  Friday [on 090612 1120] I got the CT test, ref SDS 4 02D6,
040970 -        requested by Doctor Hsu, and ordered by Doctor Johnson at
040971 -        Kaiser on 090609, ref SDS 2 PPVY, following examination at UCSF
040972 -        at 0900. ref SDS 1 1P3K, CDs for with computer files for the
040973 -        test, including the prior test on 090413 were delivered to your
040974 -        office on Friday at 1445, along with a report on additional
040975 -        blood work, which Mike requested, and which was done at Kaiser
040976 -        also on Friday on 090612; here is Kaiser's standard lab report.
040977 -        ref SDS 3 M85G
040979 -         ..
040980 -    5.  Please note Kaiser did a few more elements beyond AST requested
040981 -        by Mike.  There was a mix up in the Chemotherapy Clinic.  The
040982 -        orderer wasn't entered, so the nurse did an entire "liver"
040983 -        panel I think.  In any case this includes AST that Mike
040984 -        requested, and which was missing from the lab on 090602.
040986 -         ..
040987 -    6.  Friday evening I noticed some light rash on my inner wrist to
040988 -        the inner elbow on both arms, and it was ithcy.  Looked a
040989 -        little different from IBC, so hoping it is an anomaly, possibly
040990 -        related to the oral or injected contrast medium for the CT test
040991 -        at 1120 in the morning.  Friday, about 0730p I went to the drug
040992 -        store and purchased over the counter Benadryl (25 mg), and took
040993 -        a pill about 0900p.  This morning the rash had subsided, and I
040994 -        slept well.
040996 -         ..
040997 -    7.  Worked out in the gym on Thursday.  Friday was too hectic for
040998 -        anything but medical stuff.  Today, I rested.  Tomorrow going
040999 -        hiking at Lafayette Reservoir.
041001 -         ..
041002 -    8.  Realize my 8th relapse presents challenges.  Doctor Hsu advised
041003 -        on 090312 that hyperthermia can be effective with other
041004 -        modalities besides radiation; e.g., you originally discussed
041005 -        Doxil.  Can hyperthermia complement MPA?  If MPA proves
041006 -        ineffective, could severe IBC in the vertical line that is
041007 -        currently driving my IBC be treated with radiation, which
041008 -        worked well on my chest, and since this small area was not
041009 -        treated during February and March.  Just musing.
041011 -         ..
041012 -    9.  Looking forward to getting started Tuesday at noon.
