I agree with Ryan that this decision to even consider a BMT at this time is way too soon. First off, 2 docs I saw both strongly stated that one needs at least 6 months from treatment to make a decision. And platelets are the last component to recover.

I had my 1st horse ATG a year ago and we are just now deciding what to do since my response to the ATG was minimal.

I do hope you don't rush into anything and give your brother's body some time.
Some folks have a delayed response and as in my case, that's why I was given an extra 6 months to wait and see. I am transfusion independent for platelets, but, my numbers never rose above 26,000.

I am kind of surprised your doctors are giving you this line of advice now.
Good luck, Susan
