Dad starting ATG tomorrow

New to this forum. My Dad was diagnosed 2 MD Anderson Nov 2010. He started Vidaza in Dec 2010 did 2 treatments. But as of today he has been in the hospital for 12days with extreme low numbers. As LOW as WC .5 Hemo 7.3 and Platelets 8,000
We have done 4 Platelet transfusions 2 IVIG's and 2 blood in the past 12 days so today made the decision to switch to ATG; starting tomorrow.
Today our numbers are WC 1.4 Hemo 8.0 and platelets 22,000 and we are thrilled.

Can anyone give me any input on their ATG experience? This is such a roller coaster ride and would likke some real life input and not just Doctor talk.
