041007 - Medical Team Requests Support Doctor Patient Partnership
041008 - Treatment Strategy UCSF Planning Millie's Care After Sunitinib
041009 -
041010 - Glenna advised that she met with Doctor Rugo today. The doctor asked
041011 - her to call the [patient assistant - Rod] for help finding treatments
041012 - to aid UCSF planning for Millie to continue recovery from cancer. The
041013 - doctor wants Millie to check the SDS record for treatments UCSF has
041014 - identified to treat Millie's cancer as a "chronic disease." Glenna
041015 - explained that Millie's patient profile requires "targeted" treatments
041016 - lined up to maintain local control. This implements Doctor Johnson's
041017 - instructions the past few months, and recently during the meeting at
041018 - Kaiser on 081219 1140, for UCSF to identify future treatments for
041019 - timely care of additional relapses. ref SDS 40 V93O
041021 - ..
041022 - We reviewed the record on 081016, when Doctor Rugo advised that UCSF
041023 - has targeted drugs lined up for providing care of future relapses in
041024 - time to be effective controlling Millie's cancer. ref SDS 30 NW6M
041026 - ..
041027 - Glenna explained that UCSF has lost the list of therapies which Doctor
041028 - Rugo planned for treating Millie's cancer as a chronic disease.
041030 - ..
041031 - Glenna recalled that Brigid attended the meeting on 081016, and she
041032 - left UCSF for military duty. Megan may have been involved, but she
041033 - transferred out of the Department. As a result, nobody can find what
041034 - Doctor Rugo was planning for Millie.
041036 - ..
041037 - [On 090123 1326 Millie's primary care physician at
041038 - Kaiser, Doctor Johnson, called and advised again that
041039 - Millie's cancer has mutated to resist treatments
041040 - available at Kaiser, and so Millie should notify Doctor
041041 - Rugo that Kaiser authorizes treatment at UCSF, which
041042 - must be planned to start quickly in time to be effectve
041043 - for Millie's patient profile. ref SDS 69 8K6K
041045 - ..
041046 - Glenna said that finding details to assemble UCSF's treatment plans
041047 - for Millie is hard work that takes a lot of time. Since Millie has
041048 - survived cancer for a long time, her medical records expanding into
041049 - 8-years of treatment are very complex, noted previously by doctors on
041050 - Millie's medical team in case study on 061020. ref SDS 21 T25H
041051 - Information gets mixed up and misplaced due to rising confusion and
041052 - limited time, explained in NWO on advantages of a "well ordered
041053 - record." ref OF 12 RX4K This aligns with Doctor Rugo frustration from
041054 - difficulty finding information in Millie's medical chart at UCSF
041055 - during the meeting on 080219. ref SDS 26 L18L
041057 - ..
041058 - [On 090123 1326 Doctor Johnson complimented Doctor Rugo
041059 - for proactive case management getting a list for
041060 - treating Millie's cancer as a chronic disease.
041061 - ref SDS 69 VK6O
041063 - ..
041064 - [On 090202 1011 Doctor Rugo advises medical team that a
041065 - simple prescription is inadequate, ref SDS 76 278T, for
041066 - comprehensive care required to treat Millie's complex
041067 - patient profile, later listed on 090213, during meeting
041068 - with Doctor Johnson at Kaiser. ref SDS 79 ES7I
041070 - ..
041071 - [On 100301 0005 medical team has still not analyzed
041072 - trade-offs on alternative cancer treatments because this
041073 - takes "yeoman's work." ref SDS 94 OO9P
041075 - ..
041076 - Millie faced similar problems at her firm, Nixon Peabody on 960406.
041077 - She was asked to help people in another department find information on
041078 - a major case which had been misfiled by an attorney. ref SDS 1 5922
041079 - Research at that time showed finding critical details is a problem for
041080 - everybody. ref SDS 1 4249 Later on 031211, Millie's boss stored
041081 - information "behind the cupboard" because the filing cabinet was full.
041082 - Remembering where information was stored in that case demonstrated
041083 - superior intelligence. ref SDS 9 5B96
041085 - ..
041086 - Glenna said today that Doctor Rugo is concerned that Millie needs to
041087 - change treatments very soon in order to continue controlling her
041088 - cancer. The doctor feels experience the past 2 years shows the
041089 - patient has a well ordered record of medical history that helps find
041090 - critical details for planning Millie's next treatment. Glenna cited
041091 - the "work plan" on 081016 for starting sunitinib treatment shows
041092 - complex work in progress can be organized and managed effectively.
041093 - SDS provides a well ordered record of patient history that enables
041094 - finding details in time to be effective. ref SDS 30 J36R As a result,
041095 - Doctor Rugo asked Glenna to ask Millie for help this morning to find
041096 - the various treatments which UCSF has planned for Millie's next
041097 - relapse.
041099 - ..
041100 - [On 090203 Doctor Al-Bussam said Millie's paitient
041101 - history is very complicated, and SDS record is well
041102 - organized that helped his review to prescribe treatment
041103 - in time to be effective. ref SDS 73 JZ4F
041105 - ..
041106 - [On 090206 Doctor Stritter cited patient longevity
041107 - surprising for IBC, and credits good case management.

041110 - ..
041111 - [On 090514 0830 during a meeting at UCSF, Doctor Rugo
041112 - asked for help again on Millie's patient history, and
041113 - noted that Millie's records cited in communication with
041114 - the medical team are very detailed. ref SDS 86 LS5M
041116 - ..

041168 - received on 041117, saying in the follow up opinion...
041169 -
041170 - In my opinion, it is less likely she would receive much
