041435 - ..
041436 - Tara responds for Doctor Rugo at UCSF, to Doctor Johnson's letter
041437 - today submitting a copy of his letter to Doctor Rugo on 091211, and
041438 - saying...

041440 - 1. Subject: RE: Fw: Mutual Patient (phi)
041441 - Date: January 6, 2010 1729
041448 - ..
041449 - 2. Millie sadly does not qualify for our PARP trial because of her
041450 - previous platinum therapy. Doctor Rugo suggests that you look
041451 - in to the phase one trials that UC Davis are having with PARP
041452 - inhibitors. Currently at UCSF there are no appropriate trials.
041453 - Thank you.
041454 -
041455 - [On 100112 0830 Doctor Johnson reports he tried to
041456 - contact Doctor Rugo about treating Millie with PARP,
041457 - planned by UCSF on 090616, and so that Millie would not
041458 - have to pause chemotherapy treatment for cancer, while
041459 - recovering from shingles; Doctor Rugo has not had time
041460 - to call back, ref SDS 47 5M6R, so Doctor Johnson was
041461 - forced to pause Millie's treatment with chemotherapy
041462 - until she recovers from shingles. ref SDS 47 G68H
041463 - Doctor Johnson reviewed PARP that is targeted to
041464 - Millie's patient profile. ref SDS 47 N586
041466 - ..
041467 - [On 100120 0217 Millie's letter to medical team
041468 - confirmed that Doctor Johnson has called UCSF on
041469 - starting Millie's treatment with PARP to recover from
041470 - cancer spreading due to UCSF medical mistakes.
041471 - ref SDS 48 HL9U
041473 - ..
041474 - [On 100302 0830 Doctor Johnson advised again that only
041475 - way Millie can be treated for cancer concurrent with
041476 - shingles is with therapy targted to cancer, like PARP,
041477 - because targeted therapy does not harm blood counts, so
041478 - immunity is not compromised, which otherwise enables
041479 - shingles infection to progress. ref SDS 49 IC85
041481 - ..
041482 - [On 100427 0830 Doctor Johnson reported again Millie's
041483 - cancer has mutated to resist chemotherapy, and so she
041484 - needs a new strategy to treat her cancer as a chronic
041485 - disease with therapy targeted to her patient profile.
041486 - ref SDS 50 SJ6N Aligns with Doctor Johnson's review
041487 - today of PARP targeted to Millie's triple negative
041488 - status, reported on 100112 0830, ref SDS 47 N586
041490 - ..
041491 - UCSF's analysis in Tara's letter today, conflicts with the record...
041493 - ..
041494 - 1. UCSF has a duty to provide care correcting medical mistaks
041495 - that threaten Millie's life from advancing cancer, reported
041496 - by Doctor Hsu on 090609, ref SDS 12 W65W, and further
041497 - injured Millie's lungs impairing breathing, also reported
041498 - by Doctor Hsu on 090609. ref SDS 12 R24G Millie's complex
041499 - patient profile requires balancing priorities.
041501 - ..
041502 - UCSF exercised doctor discretion for medical necessity to
041503 - waive strict requirements for treating Millie with MPA by
041504 - not including cyclophosphamide which was integral to the
041505 - MPA protocol, reported on 090514, ref SDS 11 265I, because
041506 - Millie needed treatment to recover from life threatening
041507 - medical mistakes, reported on 090616. ref SDS 15 EQ5H
041509 - ..
041510 - On 090616 Doctor Rugo reported that UCSF and Kaiser agreed
041511 - that Millie would be treated with PARP after MPA.
041512 - ref SDS 16 KD6L UCSF knew on 090616 that Millie had
041513 - already been treated with Carboplain, and so clearly
041514 - planned to exercise discretion for medical necessity, as
041515 - done previously, and to provide the best care possible
041516 - under the circumstances to satisify liability for medical
041517 - mistakes. This agreement that "everybody was on board" was
041518 - confirmed in a letter to the medical team on 090617 0112.
041519 - ref SDS 17 VS9P
041520 -
041521 - [On 100427 0830 Doctor Johnson reported Millie's cancer
041522 - has mutated to resist chemotherapy, and so she needs a
041523 - new strategy to treat her cancer as a chronic disease
041524 - with therapy targeted to her patient profile.
041525 - ref SDS 50 SJ6N Aligns with Doctor Johnson's review
041526 - today of PARP targeted to Millie's triple negative
041527 - status, reported on 100112 0830, ref SDS 47 N586
041529 - ..
041530 - UCSF can exercise the same discretion to treat Millie with
041531 - PARP or any other protocol shown by evidence to optimize
041532 - Millie's chances for recovering from UCSF medical mistakes
041533 - based on the same grounds that discretion was exercised to
041534 - treat Millie with MPA.
041536 - ..
041537 - Alternatively, if UCSF made a mistake on 090616, and
041538 - falsely, or otherwise misled Millie and Kaiser, then UCSF
041539 - retains responsibility to provide an alternative treatment
041540 - plan for Millie to recover from UCSF medical mistakes.
041542 - ..
041543 - 2. UCSF exercised discretion for medical necessity to waive
041544 - strict requirements for treating Millie in the Sunitinib
041545 - trial that included cyclophosphmaide (Cytoxan), even though
041546 - Millie had extensive prior treatments with Cytoxan,
041547 - reported on 081016. ref SDS 5 B38I
041549 - ..
041550 - 3. Kaiser exercised discretion to waive strict requirements
041551 - for treating Millie with Abraxane, even though Abraxane is
041552 - a more robust form of Taxol, reported by Doctor Johnson on
041553 - 091112, ref SDS 23 NA3O, which UCSF and Kaiser treated
041554 - Millie with beginning on 080313, ref SDS 4 TZ8I, which UCSF
041555 - maintains today is grounds for preventing Millie from
041556 - getting life-saving care. ref SDS 0 FM5I
041558 - ..
041559 - 4. UCSF and Kaiser routinely exercised discretion for medical
041560 - necessity over 9 years to waive strict requirements for
041561 - Millie to qualify for chemotherapy with low blood counts
041562 - below published guidance for safe levels.
