My son has severe aplastic anemia, and he was treated with high-dose ATG 7 weeks ago. While I realize that it takes 3-6 months to mount a response, I am wondering what other people's experiences have been in the first 3 months. He is still transfusion dependent, and the time in between hasn't shortened at all. Our doctors feel that with each week that passes, he is less likely to respond. We are being told that if he doesn't respond at all in the next 6 weeks, we should go to transplant. Any thoughts?
