Dear Bill,
Thank you so much for taking time to be an encouragement! The doctor was doing a little "guessing" today on an appropriate starting dosage and ended up with 300 mg twice a day. My guess is that may end up being a bit high, especially after hearing about your 200 mg 2x, but perhaps a little "shock and awe" strategy might not be a totally bad thing for this first week. They of course will check the trough level along with CBC and renal and hepatic panels weekly so we'll know right away if it's problematic. After the first ATG treatment they had her on 400 mg 2x a day and her liver rebelled almost immediately so we don't want a repeat of that at all. I know last time it took almost a month to get a good handle on the right dosage to keep the trough at an appropriate level.
