I know there are more threats with this matter but Im really worried. Its my 3xATG and I dont know what to do if doesnt work....I am terrified of a transplant.
I visit my doctor every weeks. Until yesterday I have more neutrophiles than linphocites in my counts, I think it was encouraging, but yesterday I have more lymphocites than neutrophiles again. I think it is because lymphocites are hyperactives again...I dont know what to think and my doctor only say "we have to wait....", no interpretations about my counts and when I come home, I go mad trying to understand my counts. In the last two weeks they are dropping again. They are moving not in a long way. My maximun platelets were 14 and now I have 10...I think is the same....
I look my platelets because they were the first that started to rise in my 2xATG...and this time in this moments (in the month 2) I had already 20 platelets and now I have 10... 
I am desperate... |
I know its easy to say, but honestly, counts on average dont start rising until the 3rd month after your ATG, so you have a while to go yet...mine arent showing anything major and i am on month 4!! but, i feel well in myself and try and focus on that. platelets tend to be the last to rise as they are larger, but try and take each day as it comes, dont trawl too much on the internet, there are lots of frightening stories out there. You will be in my thoughts, as we hold hands together on this roller coaster of a ride. xxx
