What should I expect?

Hello everyone.
My name's Charles. I'm a 24 year old male and have just recently been diagnosed. I went into the hospital with my hgb levels in the low 5's and platelets I believe around the 30,000 mark. I was held in the hospital and received a few transfusions and left with my hgb in the 10's. Now I'm at 8.1 and holding somewhat with steroid medication. I've seen a couple different doctors and there are a few questions that I am looking for answers to. When is ATG treatment necessary? How about bone marrow transplant? What should I expect to be told about these treatments? Which is the Dr. likely to choose for me if any? If one is chosen what should I know going into it? Any advice? It would be nice to be able to feel my age again.
