3 months past ATG and still no improvements on blood counts
Hi every one, guess I'm just looking for a bit of hope really, I had my routine BMB on Wednesday and a meeting with the professors before hand, (the results will take 4 weeks) I felt so deflated when I left, I thought 3 months was when you started to see an improvement but it turns out they expects to see some improvement between 2-3 months, I am 3 months and nothing has improved in my counts, I'm still having platelets twice weekly and blood every 2 weeks (2 units) and I'm still severely neutrophinic with the rest of my white blood cells fluctuation in small amount,
However my ANC has been at 0.06 since the treatment settled and last Friday where 0.09 and this Wednesday (5 days later) were 0.16 I'm holding on to this as a good sign and hope they continue like this although the professor seemed to dismiss it as there is no trend,
I guess what I'm asking everyone is what was there experience at 3 months post ATG? Should I hold out hope it will still work? X
