Hi, I am the wife of a MDS patient. He was dx 3 yrs ago and they had a very difficult time dx him. He had many up to six chromsome fractures and was blood and platelet dependent. He was being evaluated for a bone marrow transplant 2/06 and during the evaluationt he MD put him on cyclosporin. His chromosomes returned to normal and he was been good until just recently. His platelets are dropping a little and they did a BM bx just last week. We are anxiously awaiting the results. He was 59 at dx. He never had blasts. I happy for you the ATG is working and just wonder if it would work for him, since the cyclosporin works alone for 3 years. Was the infusion dreadful. I have heard a lot of horror stories. Just wonder. Arlene
