Hi! My son got ATG here in the States and while he was in the ICU getting his ATG the nurses refered to his ATG as "chemotherapy." It is a chemotherapy product but a specific one in that it only destroys T cell lymphocytes. We also went to Johns Hopkins because in our tristate area all HLA typing is done at Hopkins. When his brother was not an HLA match they discussed their high dose cyclophosphomide with us. We declined to do it in favor of ATG and cyclosporine but I specifically asked if my son would be infertile after treatment and they said no. Then the nurse showed us a picture on a bulliten board with a man who had been treated years earlier with his recently born son. So based on the "chemotherapy" label, George could have received ATG or cyclophophamide, but neither should impact his fertility. I hope this makes you feel better!
