Fellow AA
I only had a partial response to horse ATG done Sept 2013 and my counts have been low needing red blood transfusion anywhere from 6-12 weeks. I have also been considered in the SAA range.
I wanted to get away from transfusions as my iron is too high now from over 40 units so doc was going to try eltrombopag but since the cost is so high, he said we would try EPO first. My hem went from 7.8 to 10.4 in a couple of months with weekly shots and I feel as if I'm out of the fog, although I still get fatigued.
Thought I would share my trend in the right direction as I had been dreading nconsidering a BMT earlier that spring.
