Need some info from those who have been through this. My 78 yo mom was diagnosed with very severe aplastic anemia two weeks ago. Diagnosis took forever (two bone marrow dry taps before they were finally able to get a biopsy). Docs also call it pancytopenia. She had 9 days of hATG with cyclosporine. First 6 days she has 1250 ml (?) of atg and doc upped it to 2000 last 3 days. She did great (no side effects) until the last 3 days. Now she can't stay awake, can't get out of bet, her biopsy site did not heal and she has gaseous gangrene at the site. Atg treatment just ended 3/15/14. Her counts WBC were .13 and platelet 14K as of Sunday. Is this normal for treatment response for someone her age? They also gave her neutropen starting today. Any info is so much appreciated.
