AA

My daughter, Jessica, age 16, was diagnosed about 2 weeks ago with Moderate AA. We're still in shock, but trying to research and read (and understand!) everything we can get a hold of. Right now, the treatment plan is 6 - 8 weeks of monitoring blood counts, then ATG & Cyclosporin. (she doesn't have a sibling for a matched bmt, or that would have been her Drs. first choice) The treatment sounds pretty scary, and we are so afraid of making the wrong choices. Any advice is appreciated.
