AG0434 - from Doctor Bailey received on 050922, cautioned against surgery,
AG0435 - ref SDS 58 XD6U, and that, if mastectomy was performed, then Millie's
AG0436 - patient history of no distant metastasis and IBC spreading toward the
AG0437 - neck, indicated that breast reconstruction of a very wide mastectomy
AG0438 - should be considered to avoid recurrence by removing previously
AG0439 - infected tissue. ref SDS 58 XD8P
AG0441 - ..
AG0442 - On 051007 Kaiser proposed deferring breast replacement, ref SDS 60
AG0443 - 635M, explaining that tissue harvested for reconstruction may have

AG0445 - delivery and therefore effectiveness of chemotherapy drugs in the
AG0446 - event of relapse. ref SDS 60 KO49

AG0449 - Today, the doctor seemed to comment that slow, and erratic response to
AG0450 - treatment the past several months, including evident progression of
AG0451 - disease, cited in the study above, ref SDS 0 SE9O, is not likely
AG0452 - caused by "pockets of resistance" to treatment because mastectomy
AG0453 - surgery interrupted the blood vessel system slowing delivery of
AG0454 - chemotherapy drug agents to this region, as considered in the record
AG0455 - on 061110. ref SDS 97 5E5I The doctor described this theory as new to
AG0456 - oncology practice at the UCSF Cancer Center.
AG0458 - ..
AG0459 - The doctor further indicated today that mastectomy was reasonable
AG0460 - treatment with a 20% chance of long term success for Millie's patient
AG0461 - history, but that IBC presents an aggressive disease that is difficult
AG0462 - to treat. There was no discussion of palliation, i.e., how mastectomy

B90455 - 070201. Under this scenario, treatment cannot start until the

CR0449 - interstitial lung disease (ILD) that results in inflammation, scarring

CR0480 - hospital for a week beginning on 061027. ref SDS 96 V77F During the
CR0481 - meeting on 060929, the doctor ordered a CT test for pulmonary embolism
CR0482 - to investigate rising symptoms. ref SDS 89 B56N The test was
CR0483 - expedited and performed the next day on 060930. Two days later, on

CR0488 - below. ref SDS 0 VJ4J
CR0490 - ..
CR0491 - Side effects of cetuximab that make patients tired and weak, can be
CR0492 - distinguished from symptoms of pulmonary embolism by applying the
CR0493 - practice in 2004 using CT tests to determine if conditions reported on
CR0494 - 060930 have improved, stabalized, or worsened. If conditions are
CR0495 - worse or stable relative to conditions on 060930, this points to
CR0496 - symptoms of continuing pulmonary embolism. If comparison shows
CR0497 - pulmonary conditions have improved or are no longer present, as
CR0498 - occurred previusly in 2004, per above, ref SDS 0 GX60, then low

CR0525 - with ending Taxotere and capecitabine chemotherapy treatments 2 months
CR0526 - ago on 061201, ref SDS 99 407N, particularly in light of reports on
CR0527 - 050516 that treatment with Taxotere and capecitabine (Xeloda) was
CR0528 - extremely debilitating. ref SDS 49 AQ6G This suggests conditions of
