070919 - Have advancing discomfort and nausea. Stomach bloating
070920 - increasing. Have tried calcium carbonate and Simethicone, but

070922 - is cancer advancing. I am scheduled to get 1st treatment on
070923 - Friday May 28, after video meeting with Doctor Hui on
070924 - Thursday. Please let me know if I should come to the hospital
070925 - earlier for immediate treatment.

071311 - ..
071312 - We have been unable to find time on our schedule for Friday,
071313 - 5/28, so your 1st chemotherapy treatment is not yet scheduled.
071314 - If your symptoms are severe, please go to the Emergency
071315 - Department for immediate assessment.

071321 - This suggests there is minimal experience evaluating symptoms.

071708 - ..
071709 - Thank you for seeing me on May 19, and arranging for
071710 - chemotherapy to recover from subject cancer. This morning I
071711 - reported advancing symptoms of stomach bloating - I look
071712 - pregnant, unable to eat - have lost 5 pounds since our meeting,
071713 - nausea, pain, cough and sneezing. Requested immediate
071714 - treatment. Bronda responded Kaiser cannot schedule me for
071715 - treatment. She said to go to the ER for severe symptoms.
071716 - Research indicates fewer than 7 people in 1,000,000 get
071717 - peritoneal cancer, so few people have experience with this
071718 - disease. I don't want to bother ER unnecessarily. Could you
071719 - please advise how I decide to go to ER - e.g. stomach increases
071720 - another inch, falling down, bleeding nose, pain level 2,
071721 - temperature 100, what?? Can Kaiser do a CT to see if cancer
071722 - has doubled? Very sorry to bother you with this.
071724 - ..
071725 - Thanks again for taking good care of me.

072110 - Hi. Sounds like the fluid within your abdomen has
072111 - significantly increased (similair to the fluid around your
072112 - lung). If getting to uncomfortable, agree with recommendations
072113 - for going to the ER. I've sent a referral to interventional
072114 - radiology to tap the fluid, but not sure in what time frame
072115 - that will happen.

073307 - Made asparagus, cauliflower, tuna cottage cheese dish. Kathy could
073308 - not eat anything. She had few bites ice cream and banana.
073310 - ..
073311 - Reviewed Kaiser website and found Doctor Stilling ordered a lab to
073312 - evaluate cancer marker CA 125 again. Doctor Hui also ordered CA 125
073313 - and some electrolyte labs.

073706 - Kathy says she is not in distress. She has been coughing earlier in

073710 - Decided not to go into ER this evening.
073711 -
073713 - ..
073714 - Would CT test compared with CT on 210501 2034, ref SDS A8 FA8G, and
073715 - cited in Doctor Skillings progress notes on 210519 1030. ref SDS B8
073716 - Z25I, give confidence that waiting for Kaiser scheduling issues to
073717 - resolve will not present undue risk, or alternatively that Kathy needs
073718 - immediate treatment to prevent her cancer from cascading out of
073719 - control, beyond ability of any treatment to be effective.

074110 - ..
074111 - Glad the team is moving forward with more labs, including CA
074112 - 125 ordered by you and Doctor Hui, and that you have ordered
074113 - fluid in my abdomen to be tapped. Have not received notice of
074114 - when this will occur; maybe they are waiting for the blood
074115 - draw. I will get this at Kaiser in Walnut Creek in the
074116 - morning, as I am staying with a friend in Concord. My stomach
074117 - measured 35" at 1413, then 36" at 1919, but receded to 35" at
074118 - 2132. Have been pain level 0 most of the day. Have been
074119 - unable to eat anything, except a few bites of toast this
074120 - morning. Would like CT in ER tomorrow. If it shows cancer
074121 - advancing compared to CT on 210501, then should get immediate
074122 - treatment with taxol and carboplatin, per protocol. I'm
074123 - concerned that if treatment is too late, we will lose control.
074124 - I don't have communication with Doctor Hui, so please
074125 - collaborate with her and let me know what the team thinks.
