It took my husband 4 1/2 months to respond to ATG the first time. His doctor wanted to repeat the treatment right away, but having heard from other forum members, we opted to wait. That turned out to be the right choice for us. Some take longer than that.
Since your sister is a match, you might ask about moving forward on the transplant front, but with the understanding that it wouldn't actually take place before the 6 month mark. They're not going to want to go through with it if you respond in the meantime, anyway. The whole process is, by necessity, very flexible, and it takes a while to set up.
