That's funny, I've never heard of a 2 week break before starting CsA. I thought it was standard protocol to start it immediately.
With Ken's first ATG they started him on it the day following the 5 days of ATG. With his second round he was already on CsA beforehand, so he simply continued it throughout the 10 day treatment and afterwards. He had to get the second round because he relapsed when he tapered off the CsA. He resumed it as soon as his counts started to crash, but it didn't do any good until he got ATG again.
