Hi Susan,

I think it is too early to jump the gun to a transplant. At 6 months post ATG, my numbers were very similar to yours. It took me 7 months to break through 40 with my platelets. For others it is even longer. I am still on cyclosporine and my platelets are still ssllllowwwwly climbing, now 20 months post-ATG.

Patience is key. If you have had a response (i.e. you were transfusion dependent and now you are not), I'd give it more time. Are you taking and tolerating cyclosporine?
