Cyclosporine only for treatment

I just got done reading the article on the gold standard for treating AA. My dad was diagnosed with AA in September and is being treated with cyclosporine only. I'm very confused as this doesn't seem to be the standard. His doc wants to hold off on atg for now but I'm not sure why. Has anyone else had experience with this? His numbers are WBC 1.1, RBC 3.63, hgb 11, platelets 7 and ANC .93 as of yesterday. He's been getting blood and platelet transfusions every week since June although yesterday was the first time he didn't have to get blood.
