041319 - MZ8V

041321 - [On 100503 1945 Kaiser resubmitted letter sent initially
041322 - with "secure email" for protecting patient confidentiality,
041323 - and using public domain email with level of confidentiality

041325 - ref SDS 22 YL5N
041327 - ..
041328 - [On 100601 0830 Doctor Johnson reported he received
041329 - securemail from Doctor Rugo at UCSF encrypted to protect
041330 - confidentiality of Millie's health records, but he could
041331 - not open the letter; he sent Doctor a securemail advising
041332 - he could not open her securemail, and he received back a
041333 - public domain email from Doctor Rugo that she could not
041334 - open Doctor Johnson's letter from Kaiesr; as a result of
041335 - failed communcation with email and telephone for over a
041336 - month, Doctor Johnson was unable to prescribe treatment for
041337 - Millie to recover from medical mistakes getting radiation
041338 - treatments at UCSF on referral from Kaiser; resulting in
041339 - Millie being forced into Hospice to die. ref SDS 25 D658
041341 - ..
041342 - 4. Thanks for responding quickly, since time is of the essence to
041343 - get the next treatment going [...requested in Millie's letter
041344 - to the medical team on 100501 1037. ref SDS 18 U44V, and again
041345 - in her letter to Doctor Rugo at UCSF on 100502 0140.
041346 - ref SDS 20 HH4I...]
041348 - ..
041349 - 5. What should I do about treatment on Wednesday? Should I go
041350 - ahead or switch to another regimen, or wait until after my
041351 - trip?
041352 -
041353 - [On 100503 1945 Kaiser notifies Millie to get remaining 2
041354 - treatments with Abraxane chemotherapy that seems to be
041355 - failing, and then after 3 more weeks without treatment,
041356 - following a trip abroad, the doctor will discuss "next
041357 - steps." ref SDS 22 YL5N
041359 - ..
041360 - [On 100503 2338 Millie reports to medical team that she
041361 - will implement the Kaiser's guidance to delay changing
041362 - treatments, and takes Kaiser's letter today as assurance
041363 - that recovery will be equal to changing treatment
041364 - immediately on 100505. ref SDS 23 6X7S
041366 - ..
041367 - [On 100606 2314 Doctor Johnson reported that Doctor Rugo
041368 - has still not returned his call from Kaiser requesting
041369 - treatment plan for Millie to recover from UCSF medical
041370 - mistakes. ref SDS 26 S66O
041372 - ..
041373 - 6. As stated in my letter to the team on Saturday, rising cancer
041374 - marker CA 15-3 424 was disappointing last week, along with
041375 - increasing cancer nodules on my right side. The last time
041376 - treatment was paused for 3 weeks, we nearly lost control. Can
041377 - we keep control for 2+ weeks without treatment during my trip?
041378 - That's why I asked if there is a pill form of treatment I might
041379 - take on the trip to maintain continuity of care, which you have
041380 - indicated is essential to control the advance of cancer. I was
041381 - hoping we would not have this scenario, but we seem to have it.
041382 -
041383 - [On 100504 1609 Sara, Practice Manager for Oncology at
041384 - UCSF, reported that Doctor Rugo plans to collaborate with
041385 - Doctor Johnson on treatment for Millie to recover from 11th
041386 - relapse of cancer. ref SDS 24 SN6L
041388 - ..
041389 - 7. I do have good news.
041391 - ..
041392 - 8. The pain in my forehead from shingles has finally subsided.
041393 - That is a big relief. I still have some redness on the
041394 - forehead, and so remain worried about shingles relapse.
041396 - ..
041397 - 9. I also feel there has been some improvement reducing IBC on the
041398 - right side since yesterday, from the treatment last Wednesday.
041399 - This is a "roller coaster" of emotions seeing IBC get worse,
041400 - then possibly better, but wondering if this is merely "hopeful
041401 - eyes." Definitely feel stronger and more energetic yesterday
041402 - and today than on Saturday.
041404 - ..
041405 - 10. Normally, I wait to get the next CA 15-3 until the 3rd
041406 - treatment in the cycle. Should we get it for the lab tomorrow
041407 - to see where we are?
041409 - ..
041410 - 11. I was very pleased to hear from Doctor Rugo yesterday. As you
041411 - know, she committed to contacting you on the work plan for the
041412 - 11th relapse to recover from medical mistakes I suffered at
041413 - UCSF getting radiation on referral from Kaiser [reported on
041414 - 100501 2017. ref SDS 19 456L]. Naturally, I need to know if
041415 - UCSF is going to perform on the referral. Please let me know
041416 - what UCSF proposes.

041418 - [On 100504 1609 Sara, Practice Manager for Oncology at

041421 - relapse of cancer. ref SDS 24 SN6L
041429 - ..
041430 - 14. PS. I am going shopping. If you feel more comfortable calling
041431 - rather than writing to sort out the strategy, I will be home by
041432 - 5pm. A conference call with Doctor Rugo would be great. You
041433 - can call before 5pm and talk to Rod. He is familiar with the
041434 - issues. Thanks.
