041302 -
041303 -    1.  Subject: Coumadin Adjust INR Drops 1.6, Shingles Begin Treatment
041304 -        Date: Tue, 05 Jan 2010 16:10:10 -0800
041313 -         ..
041314 -    2.  Thanks for your letter today confirming adjustments to Coumadin
041315 -        for managing my PE status [reported on 100105 1523, ref SDS 26
041316 -        BW8I], and based on changes in medical condition reported to
041317 -        the medical team on 100104 2342. ref SDS 25 0P9S
041319 -         ..
041320 -    3.  I will take the extra dose of Coumadin today, and will increase treatment
041321 -        tomorrow to 4 mg, as instructed.
041323 -         ..
041324 -    4.  My next blood test will be on Monday, 100111, because I am
041325 -        meeting with Doctor Johnson the next day on 101012 to evaluate
041326 -        continuing treatment for cancer with Navelbine chemotherapy.
041327 -        If we continue with Navelbine, then my next blood test will be
041328 -        the following week on Tuesday, 100119, in order to assess
041329 -        safety getting chemotherapy the next day.  I am hopeful Doctor
041330 -        Johnson and Doctor Rugo will prescribe a new treatment
041331 -        "targeted" to my patient profile that does not cause difficult
041332 -        side effects, which impact blood counts, as we had with
041333 -        cetuximab in 2007 - 2008.
041335 -         ..
041336 -    5.  My sense would be to check INR on both 100111 and 100119, based
041337 -        on your report that "prednisone taper that may effect...INR
041338 -        results" [see Kaiser's letter submitted by Gloria, earlir today
041339 -        on 100105 1523. ref SDS 26 VH9H].  If all goes well, treatment
041340 -        for shingles will conclude in 2 weeks, and we can return to my
041341 -        normal protocol for warfarin.
041342 -
041343 -            [On 100111 0830 Beth advised that the blood draw at Kaiser
041344 -            failed to include the INR test; Millie decided to use the
041345 -            test the following week on 100119, ref SDS 27 AS6Q, noted
041346 -            in the letter today. ref SDS 0 P75V
