It does sound as though it's slowing down, Kim. My feeling would be to keep in mind the possibility of another ATG, but not actually schedule it unless Shauna becomes transfusion dependent again. If she is able to stay above tx levels, I don't see the urgency to move forward, although if she continues to hover at very low levels, it would be something to consider.
On the other hand, it sounds like her ANC may be a bigger problem than txs. Has the doctor said anything about giving her Neupogen to try and raise it? If that worked, it could buy her some time to see if the cyclo alone will turn it around.
