080961 - On 100513 1422 called Arlette this morning to get results of the
080962 - cancer marker for Millie's blood test on 100511, because these results

080972 - increased to the highest level in patient history, and that recovery
080973 - for Millie from medical mistakes UCSF made providing radiation

081312 - 2. You may know that Mil has been in Europe the past few weeks, on
081313 - a cruise with her daughter, Pam, daughter-in-law, Kim, and
081314 - Kim's sister. She is glad for going, but says the trip has
081315 - been difficult physically.
081317 - ..
081318 - 3. Millie is coming home tomorrow. I pick her up at SFO 7p.
081320 - ..
081321 - 4. The next few weeks will be critical. If Kaiser supports
081322 - getting the right kind of treatment from UCSF or others, then
081323 - Millie may be willing to continue. She will then be fine for
081324 - another year or so, if the treatment actually works. That's a
081325 - lot of if's.
081327 - ..
081328 - 5. I filed a claim today for Mil demanding Kaiser perform its part
081329 - (the real target is UCSF) so that Millie has choices [reported
081330 - on 100527 0217, ref SDS 62 IZ7N]. If you feel comfortable
081331 - asking around the office for ideas on amendments to increase
081332 - leverage, that would be a big help.
081334 - ..
081335 - 6. In any case, just wanted to say thanks for always being there
081336 - for Millie. At the darkest hour, your caring and zest for life
081337 - lift her spirits.
