I'm a scared spouse of hubby starting 2nd round ATG (horse this time) and first time on cyclosporin. 1st round of rabbit ATG worked for 1.5 yrs, nor transfusion dependent @2 weeks. He has MDS. refractory cytopenia w/multilineage dysplasia. 57 yrs old.
Not sure what to expect from added cyclosporin treatment...sounds pretty difficult. He had a heart attack during last ATG but cardio has cleared him. We have severely handicapped daughter at home and I'm in ill health as well. Sounds like a soap opera!His brother is going with him to Tampa, Moffitt Center (Dr. Alan List). We're both nervous wrecks this time. Can anyone write to me maybe?
gldcst@comcast.net PS. He thinks he'll come home and be ready to work right away...out in the sun; he's a boat captain. help please.
