6 months after 2nd round ATG
I'm hitting the end of the 6 month waiting period to see if the (second) ATG is working. My numbers are better, and I haven't had a transfusion since April 1st. My hgb stays around 9, my platelets hover at 60, but I've been getting neupogen shots to keep up my white count.
I seem to have hit a plateau in the improvement. I'm wondering what is going to happen now; another round of ATG, move to transplant, or nothing?
Has anyone else hit this wall? I know I need to talk to my dr, but I like to hear a patient's opinion too.
