ATG treatment completed

My wife who is a 58 year old, recently diagnosed with SAA has just undergone ATG treatment .This is her 18th day in hospital and expects to be in another 4 or 5 days yet . She has developed a fungal infection and is on IV antifungals so will be discharged when she is well enough to take oral antifungals .
Her consultant has told her that the search for a bone marrow donor will continue (no sibling match ). The plan is to have transplant in the future .
One thing we have learned is the difficulty in distinguishing between SAA and hMDS . We were told that my wife's results BMB/A , CBC and blood film have been viewed by several senior heamatologists and opinions differ as to what she actually has. They all agreed that in the absence of a matched donor ATG/ cyclosporine treatment is the route to take .
We shall now have to wait and see how counts react over the next few months .
Regards ASQ
