180829 - rising cancer activity, because IBC does not display in imaging tests,

180836 - 9U3L Since Millie's maximum test report was 117 shown on 020511,
180837 - ref SDS 0 KV59, this suggests cancer may not have reached a level that

220432 - pneumonia in the Emergency Room on 060607, and asked about a
220433 - pre-existing diagnosis of esophagitis, ref SDS A9 K66E, made a mistake
220434 - interpreting computer image test files as establishing diagnosis of
220435 - esophagitis. The doctor explained that imaging tests do not
220436 - "diagnose," per se; only the doctor makes this decision based on full
220437 - assessment of patient history.
220439 - ..
220440 - The doctor indicated that the patient's report today of occassional
220441 - digestion problems supports deferring investigation of PET and CT scan
220442 - imaging test findings, until clinical symptoms become more prominent
220443 - for esophagitis.

670496 - nominally it would be expected the highest rate of IBC infection would

AD0456 - You may be advised by your oncologist to do high dose
AD0457 - chemotherapy . This involves higher doses and/or more
AD0458 - frequent infusions, often with some kind of support for
AD0459 - your bone marrow. The support could be a bone marrow or
AD0460 - stem cell transplant or injections of various growth
AD0461 - factors that stimulate production of new blood cells.
AD0463 - ..
AD0464 - High dose chemotherapy is a fairly new approach, and it has
AD0465 - not yet been proven more effective than standard doses,
AD0466 - although it has become pretty standard treatment in the
AD0467 - United States. HDC is best done at a major hospital or one
AD0468 - with lots of experience, since the immunosuppression caused
AD0469 - by the high doses can lead to mortality rates of up to 10%
AD0470 - from the procedure itself.
AD0471 -
AD0473 - ..
AD0474 - HDC May Fail Theory Flawed Requires Careful Analysis
AD0475 -
AD0476 - The whole principle behind HDC/SCR may be flawed, and it
AD0477 - may be more like antibiotics -- if you pick the wrong one,
AD0478 - higher doses won't make any difference. It's also possible
AD0479 - that since the doses we're talking about can only be used
AD0480 - once or twice, some cells won't be dividing while the
AD0481 - drugs are in your system and will survive, while more
AD0482 - doses at a lower level would have killed more.
AD0484 - ..
AD0485 - CONCLUSION: HDCT in selected patients with HRBC is safe
AD0486 - and warrants further evaluation. Patients with
AD0487 - receptor-negative, high-grade, or inflammatory tumors
AD0488 - require improvement in their therapeutic options. Better
AD0489 - assessment of the role of HDCT awaits completion of
AD0490 - ongoing randomized trials.
AD0492 - ..
AD0493 - Today, discussion with the doctor and the Pharmacist, Zan, focused on
AD0494 - starting with a low dose to assess effectivenss, while reducing side
AD0495 - effects.
AD0497 - ..
AD0498 - Considered strategy to start again using the higher dose for the first
AD0499 - few treatments, as was done beginning on 050415, before the dosage was
AD0500 - reduced for better tolerance, reported 050516. ref SDS 58 AQ6G Even
AD0501 - though this will be hard to tolerate, if it is more effective relative
AD0502 - to the lower dose, then the aim should be for effectivenss to the
AD0503 - point of intollerance, replicating results reported on 050520.
AD0504 - ref SDS 59 025H Since the patient had received 4 cycles of AC prior
AD0505 - to starting Taxotere and capecitabine (Xeloda) on 050415, this may
AD0506 - have contributed to low tolerance for HDC at that time. Since the
AD0507 - patient has been off treatment for 9 months, there may now be greater
AD0508 - tolerance for stronger HDC treatment to "break the back" of disease
AD0509 - progression.

AU0422 - ..
AU0423 - For the first seven months of 2003, she suffered silently
AU0424 - through 16 individual high dose intravenous chemotherapy
AU0425 - treatments lasting anywhere from four to six hours each.
AU0426 - In August she endured a disfiguring operation, and from
AU0427 - mid September and all of October, she underwent six weeks
AU0428 - of daily radiation - all this without complaining, and
AU0429 - always with a positive attitude and her head held up high.
AU0431 - ..
AU0432 - Kim never took any sick leave for the first seven months
AU0433 - of 2003 except for the day of her chemotherapy. She even
AU0434 - started a new job in March of 2003 with the Marine Corps
AU0435 - Systems Command while undergoing chemotherapy. That was a
AU0436 - God send, for she was now able to focus on getting the job
AU0437 - done for her Marines as she called them, instead of
AU0438 - thinking about her disease. So to Kim, the Marines and
AU0439 - staff at Systems Command had become her second family
AU0440 - during the difficult fight.
AU0442 - ..
AU0443 - In November of 2003, her tumor markers and CAT scans and
AU0444 - MRIs all indicated she was free from disease. We
AU0445 - celebrated. We took trips to San Antonio and Las Vegas,
AU0446 - went to the Marine Corps Birthday Ball, and Kim went to
AU0447 - Florida to visit her mother. Life suddenly seemed to be
AU0448 - returning to normal. But the war was not over yet.
AU0450 - ..
AU0451 - Just one month later in December 2003, the cancer returned
AU0452 - with a vengeance. This time it was inoperable and
AU0453 - radiation was not an option. The only weapon she had was
AU0454 - more chemotherapy.
AU0456 - ..
AU0457 - But this time, the chemotherapy wasn't working. Kim's
AU0458 - oncologist said he could try a high dose of a chemotherapy
AU0459 - drug that had previously worked to reduce her tumor, but
AU0460 - the side effects were dangerous. Kim was a fighter; so she
AU0461 - said OK, bring it on. She told me that she would rather go
AU0462 - out feeling crummy from chemotherapy than sit around and
AU0463 - wonder if each day would be her last.
AU0465 - ..
AU0466 - But, in the cruelest of ironies, the drug that had reduced
AU0467 - her tumor last time didn't work this time and instead gave
AU0468 - her kidney failure. So, she now had to have dialysis three
AU0469 - times a week with each session lasting four and a half
AU0470 - hours. She was now fighting a two front war - cancer and
AU0471 - kidney failure - and the effects were beginning to show.
AU0472 - But, she continued to display a positive attitude even
AU0473 - with this major setback, but I was becoming distraught,
AU0474 - feeling helpless. She could sense that and she held me in
AU0475 - her arms and told me she was worried about me and not to
AU0476 - worry because everything would be OK. That was Kim, always
AU0477 - thinking of the other person first. She was the one with
AU0478 - cancer, but she was worried about me.
AU0480 - ..
AU0481 - Technical explanation of Kim's struggle...
AU0482 -
AU0483 - On December 19, 2003, just one month after completing six
AU0484 - weeks of daily radiation, a follow up MRI showed that Kim
AU0485 - had a recurrence of the IBC. It showed a 7 cm X 8 cm right
AU0486 - chest wall and axillary tumor involving the thoracic
AU0487 - musculature with nodular components extending to ribs.
AU0489 - ..

AU0491 - inflammation, per above. ref SDS 0 8Z8G

AU0496 -
AU0497 -
AU0498 - Kim's story continues...
AU0499 -
AU0500 - There were a few contiguous masses involving right
AU0501 - axillary tissues and brachial plexus. Kim also began to
AU0502 - experience severe right arm pain. The doctors said the
AU0503 - tumor was inoperable and too big for radiation to be
AU0504 - effective. So, from January 2 to February 9, 2004, Kim had
AU0505 - two cycles of systemic chemotherapy consisting of
AU0506 - Navelbine and Xeloda. A follow up MRI taken on February
AU0507 - 12, 2004, indicated a dramatic interval chest wall growth,
AU0508 - now 12 cm by 17 cm, which extended to the axilla and
AU0509 - brachial plexus. One portion of the tumor insinuated
AU0510 - between the ribs and budged the plural surface of the
AU0511 - lung.
AU0513 - ..
AU0514 - Navelbine/Xeloda treatment was discontinued as ineffective
AU0515 - on February, 2004 and replaced with Gemzar and Cisplatin.
AU0517 - ..
AU0518 - After just one dose of Cisplatin and Gemzar, Kim suffered
AU0519 - severe vomiting, neurotoxicity (tremor, shaking,
AU0520 - disorientation), ototoxicity (hearing impairment ),
AU0521 - nephrotoxicity (severe edema and acute kidney failure),
AU0522 - and extremely low white, red, and platelet counts. She was
AU0523 - hospitalized for kidney failure from March 1 to March 11,
AU0524 - 2004, received several platelet and blood transfusions,
AU0525 - and daily dialysis due to the kidney failure. She also had
AU0526 - a thoracentesis procedure to relieve a large right side
AU0527 - pleural effusion (500 cc of fluid removed).
AU0529 - ..
AU0530 - On April 13, 2004, Kim began chemotherapy again. She
AU0531 - received low dose Epirubicin and Paclicitaxol. The
AU0532 - following week her platelets crashed at 15,000, down from
AU0533 - 106,000 the week before. Even with a platelet transfusion,
AU0534 - Kim's platelets never recovered so further chemotherapy
AU0535 - was put on hold. (Kim's platelets never did return, and
AU0536 - this was the last time she had chemotherapy before she
AU0537 - died.).
