Hi Manessa,

It is true that she is at risk of more complications for the transplat after 2 ATG courses. And, it is not only the ATG, but also the number of transfusions she got so far. However, I second Michelle. In my opinion there are 3 things that can make a transplant a success or not
- quality of the match
- the transplant doctor and the transplant team: this influences everything, which donor is potentially selected, which conditioning regimen, and how the complications are dealt with
- patient support by the family; never underestimate the importance of a strong spirit to fight

So, it is quite normal for you to be worried, but there is nothing you could do to alter the past, so you should focus instead of educating yourself about what to expect. You are your daughter's best advocate!
