So far I think I have been relatively lucky with my ATG.
Only one night to go and the worse reaction has been a red rash (not itchy but looked a bit like hives). They increased the steroids and no more rash.
My counts tumbled after the first does, no real change after the second dose and a small tumble after the third: plts now 9, wbc now 0.61 and hgb 8. One more dose to go.
A plt transfusion today and then hopefully my bone marrow will pull its socks up.
I am feeling really confident and think I have found my new cocktail of choice, horse serum and steroids - 3 hours into the ATG treatment all I want to do is dance!!! So all in all things are pretty good.
