Respond to ATG
The first time I had ATG I had absolutely no response and remained platelet/RBC transfusion dependant for 12mths. I wanted to keep waiting for a response as the next step was unrelated BMT. They then decided to try ATG once more, after the second ATG I was transfusion dependant for about a month and then my counts slowly stabilized and started to rise.
