Hi Mike - I am sorry to hear about your diagnosis, but welcome. There are many of us here with varying degrees of bone marrow failure. Mine happens to affect my reb blood cells the most, although I do have lower wbc's and platelets. the counts do vary from week to week, and you will probably find this to be true with you also. I have no experience with ATG, although the second medications I think you may be referring to is Vidaza? It is injected for 7 days and then you are off of it for 21 days. If this is the chemo you are referring to, it didn't work for me. I did 4 cycles of it with no benefit.
If you have questions regarding meds or your diagnosis, there are plenty of people on this site to help you out. Don't be afraid to ask. Good luck
