I've read and Jessica's Dr. has confirmed that just because the first round of ATG/Cyclosporine doesn't work, that it don't mean the 2nd round wouldn't. Jessica's Dr. thinks using an unrelated donor would be more of a risk than taking the time for another round of ATG. I wish we would have had a donor right away instead of the ATG, but I trust her Dr.'s advice. (We also had a second opinion done at UVA and they both agree)
