Hi Debra,
My name is Carol I got diagnosed with AA in January of 2005.I had ATG in March of 2005,after being hospialized for 5 months. My AA went into remission until March 2007. My doctor from UCLA put my on 250 MG of cyclosporin with no results, I had another ATG on April 1 st of this year. My experience the second time was totally different than the first. I had the treatment done with a pic line. As of last week my levels had gone up to 11.1 hb. and my platlets had reached 121 thousand. Tell your Dad to keep the faith and try to stay positive. It will come up, they say it can take 6 months to a year to see any results. I also have still been on the cyclosporine 250 mg. This is the medication to go along with the ATG.
Thanks for listening
Hope your Dad gets better.
