Good luck with your treatment! The first day is usually the worst. So, you are doing great! You should expect continuous transfusions of platelets and RBCs during the ATG administration. ATG usually causes high fevers which burn through these cells. Also, your ANC will bottom out at some point during your hospital stay before rising again. All this is normal. Stay positive
