Sorry you have to deal with this disease. It's difficult to know which treatments will give the desired outcome. Your age, the severity of your AA and your overall health all play a role. It would be great if they could predict it but they can't. Did they give you a reason for recommending hAGT as you first line therapy?
The upside to getting hATG first is that if it does not work, you still have the transplant to fall back on.
