Dear Leung: you stated that your niece is at 5 months post ATG; platelets hovering 30+, and still needing RBC tx. To me, from my experience, I was reevaluated at 6 months post-ATG, and with my platelets hovering 24+ and still needing RBC tx, to continue the "watch and wait". Platelets are the last component to rise and your niece at only 5 months post, seems to be heading in the right direction. Needing the RBC tx isn't great but is still acceptable at this early time. Hang in there, as difficult as it may be.

I am nearing one year post-ATG, and still in the same plateau; platelets values the same and needing RBCs every 2-3 months. Not to say this is ideal, but its my story. Always helpful hearing about others similar.

At this point we are in the talking stages of considering a 2nd round of ATG. Not sure when, how long, or any details. will keep you informed since it might give you some insight.
