Hey Marian!

Hey Marian!

What you say makes perfect sense to me given what my doc has said. There's definitely some resistance or whatever that can build up to ATG. I've read about some folks not responding to horse ATG being switched to rabbit ATG or vice versa.

My doc is also a little worried about the build-up of antibodies from multiple transfusions, particularly since I picked up my first one (as yet unidentified) last transfusion.

Transplant is such a dicey deal in the best case that I think transplant docs tend to be pretty cautious folks about other pre-transplant treatment that can mess things up down the line.

Looking at your sig line, looks like you've had a rough go of it in terms of diagnosis bouncing around and such. I wish you great luck with your impending transplant!

Greg
