From personal experience and what I see on here its typical to get a second or even 3rd opinion by an expert in the field.

007,
Thanks for the comment. I am concerned about my hematologist also. I discovered she is not board certified in hematology. She is only board certified in oncology. Also, one of the criteria for AA is "Anemia with corrected reticulocyte count < 1 %" and in all the blood tests she has ordered, reticulocyte hasn't been one of them. I am seriously considering getting a 2nd opinion, especially before I start something as drastic as ATG/CsA.
Thanks again and good luck to you!!!
