Hello again. We didn't see a response till around the sixth month. Do you know if your cousin had Horse ATG or Rabbit ATG? It was my understanding at one point that European countries used Rabbit ATG as a first option. In the states it is believed that Horse ATG is a better option or at least that's the latest I've heard from my son's Hematologist.
If the doctor decides that a bone marrow transplant is the next best option, be sure to ask if the search for a MUD--Matched Unrelated Donor will be an International Search? It would be nice to find a 10/10 match.
BTW, do they know what caused your cousin's AA...is it Idiopathic (unknown cause)?
