Your head must be spinning from all this!!!

I think it's a good suggestion to get another set of eye on this also. Can you get to NIH or Johns Hopkins? I don't know if I could trust any one doctor's opinion at this point. You need some collaboration with the experts on this to get a definitive diagnosis.

Pretty much all immuno-supressant meds like ATG, Cyclo, Cytoxan, etc can cause secondary clonal disease like leukemia or lymphoma. These usually don't show up right away though.

Keep pushing for clarity because you want to make sure you get the proper treatment.
