After 8 wks ATG.. Dr pushing BMT

Would anyone pls share w us their experience w ATG response at 8weeks?
My husbands only sign of change is that he hasn't needed platelets in 4wks but they are at 18.
Bc he is still needing blood every 2 wks his Dr thinks the ATG is not going to work and in 2 more weeks wants to get serious about a BMT.
I am so sad bc there is no way to know if that will be a good decision or not until it's done. That scares me

Any thoughts appreciated.
