Being discreet about successful ATG
Something that I was thinking about the other day:
Are cases of successful ATG/Cyclo treatment underreported in social circles?
It would seem that many people who achieve remission move on with their lives, (as much as they can) or may not feel comfortable telling their success story.
Personally, I would find it a bit awkward to announce a great response to ATG while others have struggled so much with treatment. On the other hand, I could see where an ATG success story would give others hope.
I think this post gives you guys an idea of my state of mind right now as I slip into the weekly check-up/transfusion/ watch and wait mode.
