Hi again,
Here is the article on Horse vs. Rabbit.
http://www.hemonctoday.com/article.aspx?rid=78418
This just came out about two months ago. If your doctors look like they are considering rabbit, you should ask for a good explanation as to why.
Don't worry about a disease until you have it. Progression to leukaemia is pretty rare with aplastic anaemia, and the "what ifs" can drive you crazy.
At the five month mark, I am in remission with my counts continuing to climb.
At my worst: my HGB was "4," my ANCs "300," my Plts "3." Now I am hovering around: HGB "11," ANCs "2000," Plt "70."
My cyclosporine trough had fallen from 300 to 138 and my counts started to plateau. Since my kidney and liver function were normal, they boosted up the dose to 400 mg to see if my counts could get a little higher by the six month
mark.
This has been my experience, but everyone's AA is a little different, so it's important that your doctor get to know your daughter and how she responds to all the treatments.
Good luck.
