Thanks so much for all your replies. Lisa, do you mind sharing more of your husband’s experience? What are the best levels of his blood counts after 1st ATG and when did he achieve such levels? Why did he need to receive 2nd round? How far apart were the two rounds ATG? Did your husband have much better and faster response to 2nd ATG compared with the 1st round? What are his blood counts now? Are both rounds horse ATG? Our doctor said it should make no difference whether it is horse or rabbit following 1st round of horse ATG.


Hopeful, thanks for your sharing. My niece is still on cyclosporine, but it seems that it has only slight effect so far. Her platelet has stayed in the range 30k to 34k for a month and it seemed to plateau at this level. In the latest reading 4 days ago, it has slightly risen to 39. Hope we can see gradual and continuous improvement. May I know your current platelet count and cyclosporine dosage? Did your doctor ever suggested doing 2nd ATG? Wish your platelet continue to rise. Have your HGB and ANC reached normal levels?
