Tacrolimus
Hi Susan
Wow I have been wondering the same thing. I am exactly 6 months post ATG (to the day! - March 6). My last counts 1 week ago were:
WBC 5.3
PLT 43,000
HGB 9.7
As you can see, these are good counts and dr. says I am having a "partial response". Last transfusions were in April 2012.
I take tacrolimus 10 mg per day + acyclovir + mepron (the last 2 prophylactically). A lot of the articles in the journals say to start tapering at 6 months. Last time I asked, he told me "indefinitely" for the tacro.
Now here is the big question: I see you are from Boston, I go to Dana Farber for my treatment. Wouldn't it be funny if we had the same doctor?
