More importantly, what are his counts? The odd thing is that some never recover to the "normal" range for their age BM cellularity after treatment, but achieve normal blood counts.

So it's important to look at the trend, if you have it, in his CBCs and get a second opinion or even third opinion. Have you gone to Cleveland Clinic? I understand Dr. Majewski (sp) has lots of experience with SAA.

I think treating younger is probably more important with transplants than ATG but could be wrong.
