I underwent ATG therapy in October and it honestly wasn't too bad....the toughest part was probably the insertion of the PIC line but after that it was smooth sailing. The Sol-Medrol (prednisone) at high dosage was probably the toughest to deal wilth but it did the trick for preventing side effects from treatment. I did develop serum sickness after my doc prematurely tried to wean so I had to endure an extra high dosage of Prednisone for a few weeks (which is tougher than the treatment itself). I am still awaiting a response but am told that it could take a few months before we see it. Hang in there, you will do awesome Bring lots of books and maybe an instrument to learn, it will pass the time quickly......

Good luck,

Michelle
