Unhappy New to MDS

Hi ! My name is Mike and I'm new to MDS. My problems seem to be with the low platelets. I was tested yesterday and am now up to 30 ,last week I was at 21. I don't understand why they fluctuate but I guess that why it's a problem. The question I'm putting to all of you is that the Dr. wants me to participate in a trial using ATG. Is there anyone who has done this and what was your outcome? My other alternative is to have injections once a month for 5 consec. days with some sort of chemo drug. Any thoughts or words of wisdom would be helpful !
