thank you for all your replies. I doubt she takes prednisone but I am not 100% sure. I also felt it is too early to say if the ATG has effect or not. My mom pre-treatment condition was very bad/critical and our doctors were hesitating to use ATG because they were worry my mom may not survive through the treatment. Anyway, her pre-condition may be a reason why they told us not to be too optimistics (it may be also culture thing).
I will take Aug off and fly back to see my mom again. I was in China during May when her blood counts failed suddenly (she was admitted to hospital because of Jaundice in early April. Her boold counts dropped suddenly when she recovered from Juandice (not hepititas)). Anyway, I was with my mom when the diagnostics were done. It was painful moment in my life. I am fine now. life has to continue.
Anyway, thanks for sharing and I will keep my mom's status updated.
