ATG Rigors
Hi Sherry,
So sorry your husband is undergoing ATG and having side effects. I am 70 and underwent it 2 years ago and had the RYgors, as my doc called it too. They can adjust the dosage of ATG and also the meds for side effects depending on his reaction. I also had 104 fevers about 3 times. The ATG is very harsh to kill or suppress the immune system but your hospital should be used to watching for serious side effects. Mine was done in an organ transplant unit and the staff was first rate. Even so, it took me 12 days to get the 4 infusions my doc ordered. Are they taking his vital signs every 15minutes? Mine were, and it keeps the staff on top of problems developing. Good luck! Let us know how he does,
Ron
