Dear friends,

tomorrow, after 2 weeks after ATG my wife will begin CsA.
She had a good response in neutrofils counts - they began to increase, WBC were about 4,5, HGB - 83, PLT are still low and require PY transfusions.
Our doctor was exited to see good response in neutrofils and says that this is a good sign. However, we are waiting for further improvements in other cells and will be happy to stop transfusions completely. I hope that while taking CsA we will achieve our goal and will get full recovery.

The question I wanted to ask is about 2 week break in treatment between ATG and CsA. Is this a standard practice?
On ATG we saw improvements, in break counts lowered and I guess it were better to start CsA immediately after ATG.
