Hi Laura,

I'm very new to this site and I'm so happy to see and hear your testimony of how a BMT can change your life.

My son Gage (13 yr) has had two ATG treatments so far. One Horse and one rabbit. He's in partial remission right now but if his count continue to decline we may be looking at another round of ATG. He has no BMT donor right now and he has been considered moderate AA since he was 3 years. Gage has only had about 12 transfusions since he was diagnosed.

Does anyone know about the sucess rate with a BMT after having multi ATG treatments? I'm concerned because on some web sites they talk about his chances of engraftment becoming slimmer.
