SAA - recovery question

Hi All,

It's been awhile since I last visited this forum.

My wife was diagnosed with SAA last October and received her ATG during Thanksgiving break. Her counts were really bad (for sometime her platelet count dropped to 1!!). She has been transfusion dependent for about 8 weeks and then the counts slowly moved up. Her platelet count moved up very quickly to reach 79K in mid Feb. However, her platelet count then started dropping. Now she's at 55K. Her WBC and RBC are also in slow decline.

Has anyone seen this behavior? Is it a bad sign?

BTW - my wife is on 3X100mg of Cyclo per day. We haven't tried to taper it off or anything.....

Thank you.
