hey there:
sorry about your diagnosis, it is tough. your numbers are still quite acceptable, I assume you are nowhere near transfusion? they usually recommend ATG after your neutrophils drop to somewhat concerning levels (below 1.0) above that, they wait. i'm from California too and being followed at UCSF where they have a wonderful hematology and BM clinic. ATG recovery is different for everyone but since you are so young it would probably be really quick. serum sickness can be avoided with Prednisone (which is probably the most horrible drug to be on at high doses for long periods of time)......
good luck and I hope your numbers come up without intervention!
