Initially he was only going to get Busulfan for the first four days. Then he is to get cytoxan for two. They decided against full body radiation. I was most worried about the cytoxan because of the catheter.
The doctor who decided to administer the ATG is the head of the whole BMT unit so I felt that it probably was a good idea. I was just confused about the whole thing. He explained it by saying that they wanted to kill off all of the cancer cells and he felt that they needed this to do it.
