Very Severe AA

Hi all!

I was diagnosed with Very Severe AA September 2011. I am 51 days into treatment with Horse ATg. I require near weekly platelets and red blood every ten days or so. My ANC has risen slowly to the 800's with a WBC hovering from 2.1 to 2.6. I appreciate all the info here and will share my story as things progress. I am praying the ATg works as I have no related marrow donor. My docs do tell me there are plenty of MUD donors for me but are very concerned about going that route.

Does anyone have any data on otherwise healthy patients receiving Bone Marrow transplants? I am 30 yrs old and in good overall physical health. I'd like to see what the data is on VSAA patients who are otherwise healthy in regards to transplants.

Thanks for your time!
