I know we all have very different stories and responses to ATG. I go onto this website often to read all the stories and questions out there, in hopes of someone having the same or similar story to mine. I am looking for just a kernal of hope that my recovery is around the corner.

Here is my recent update. I had my third BMB 2 weeks ago. Doctor's were concerned with some of my counts (mostly my enlarged MCV and dropping HCT). My HG is stable at 8.4, WBC 2.1 Platelets 43. They suspected that they would find MDS - but instead they found no abnormal cells and my stem cells, which were <10% last Nov. were now 40%...but my counts haven't changed in the last two years.

So, how can my stem cells be 'close to normal' but there is no effect on my counts? Is it just a matter of time before they all kick in and work, it's been 8 months now since my ATG. Has anyone else had this experience?

Hoping there is someone out there that can shed any light on this?
