040901 - On 090609 0900 during a meeting at UCSF, Doctor Hsu diagnosed Millie's

040907 - On 090609 0900 Doctor Hsu prescribed treatment with MPA at UCSF for

040909 - at UCSF. ref SDS 2 W66W
040911 - ..

040917 - On 090626 1140 Millie met with the primary care physician at Kaiser

040919 - providing medical services at UCSF for radiation.
040921 - ..
040922 - On 090627 0010 Millie sent a letter to medical team reporting results
040923 - meeting with Doctor Johnson yesterday at Kaiser.

040943 - ..
040944 - 2. A few days ago on 090627 2134 I reported to the medical team
040945 - another severe coughing episode that lasted a good part of the
040946 - day [reported on 090627 2122. ref SDS 8 BF4K]. I think Doctor
040947 - Rugo is on vacation, and Doctor Johnson at Kaiser has been very
040948 - busy, so I hope you can comment today if time permits.
040950 - ..
040951 - 3. Persistent cough is occurring again. Thankfully, today, the
040952 - problem is not as bad on 090623, and I have no fever; however,
040953 - I would like to prevent the situation from getting out of hand,
040954 - as occurred on 090403, when you ordered examination at Kaiser,
040955 - and then again the other day on 090627. At that time on
040956 - 090627, I asked the medical team for recommendations on
040957 - over-the-counter remedies to suppress the cough; or, might
040958 - something be prescribed that will help? ref SDS 8 MH5R
040960 - ..
040961 - 4. Today, I'm just doing light housework, e.g., dusting, hanging
040962 - pictures, vacuuming, laundry, etc. Just walking around I am
040963 - out of breath, and constantly coughing. Would it help to lay
040964 - down and elevate my feet? Take a deep breath and count to 10??

040974 - in UCSF Triage Department responded to Millie's many
040975 - request for treatment of breathing problems the past few

040977 - the medical team continues research to find a remedy to
040978 - recover Millie's former strong breathing capacity.

040981 - ..
040982 - [On 090708 0301 Doctor Johnson calls and advises that

040987 - ..
040988 - 5. In the meeting on 090609 you indicated these new symptoms in my
040989 - lungs could be related to IBC still in my breastbone area,
040990 - ref SDS 2 W65W, and proposed a CT test for evaluation.
040991 - ref SDS 2 W66T The test was performed on 090612. ref SDS 4
040992 - PPWX CDs were delivered to your office with computer files for

040997 - for radiology tests to be read within 24 hours. ref SDS 6 FS6M
040999 - ..
041000 - 6. Have you had a chance to review the CT test data, as planned on

041012 - ..
041013 - 7. You mentioned the first effort to resolve both IBC and my lung
041014 - problems would be Doctor Rugo's MPA clinical trial [reported on
041015 - 090609 0900, ref SDS 2 W66W]. This treatment was started on
041016 - 090616. On Monday, I was at UCSF and blood was drawn to
041017 - evaluate dose levels. Mike, the study coordinator, said I will
041018 - get a call today or tomorrow on findings from the lab on
041019 - whether we need to increase the amount of MPA I am taking
041020 - daily.
041022 - ..
041023 - 8. In the meantime, can you please submit findings from UCSF
041024 - review of the CT test data submitted on 090612, and assessment
041025 - of risks for worsening symptoms? Even if MPA arrests advance
041026 - of IBC will this necessarily address radiation injury, if any
