1107 - Analysis
1108 -
110801 - CA 15-3 56 Cancer Marker Rises Again Signaling Active IBC
110802 - IBC Progressing Clinical Symptoms Rise Aligns with Rising CA 15-3
110803 -
110804 - Follow up ref SDS 81 GJ5M, ref SDS 75 GJ5M.
110805 -
110806 - There was no discussion of CA 15-3 rising dramatically from 43 to 56,
110807 - since this is obviously a major change in the trend line for Millie.
110808 - Rising CA 15-3 correlates with suspending treatment for about ten (10)
110809 - weeks beginning on 041021, due to finding pulmonary emboli, reported
110810 - on 041104. ref SDS 73 N438  The rise further aligns with analysis on
110811 - 041210 of worsening biopsy wound on the left breast, ref SDS 81 6T5G,
110812 - which has not responded to treatment with antibiotics, reported today,
110813 - per below. ref SDS 0 6T5G  Worsening inflammation in the breast,
110814 - reported today, ref SDS 0 025H, and renewed discomfort under the left
110815 - arm reported by the patient, ref SDS 0 MW8J, all align with rising CA
110816 - 15-3.
110818 -  ..
110819 - The doctor prepared a new request for another CA 15-3 test that
110820 - enables close order monitoring of current conditions, in light of the
110821 - change toward a worsening condition reported today, that will support
110822 - the overall treatment plan, per below.
