Thank you very much!
How long are you taking it?
Indeed it must be done. The highest dosis he had, during ATG was 300 mg perday (150+150).
We're waiting for a second opinion in Lisbon - hopefully before he totally relapse again.
Doctor in the local hospital doen't want to assume - AA is treated at 4 hospitals in the country and we live in the Azores (in the middle of Atlantic).
Some communications are made in order he'll be sent to a second opinion in Lisbon. Even if go at our expenses.
I will keep you updated.
Thank you very much!
