Hi Annya,
So sorry to hear that you have been through such a tough time lately. I just wanted to give you some hope. I was diagnosed with SAA at the age of 10 yrs old and lived on transfusions for years. I have had the horse ATG and the Rabbit ATG. Everyone has a different reaction to the ATG and its probably best to take it one day at a time when you have the ATG. I am 43 yrs old now and I ended up having an unrelated bone marrow transplant in 1996.
I know that my story is different...everyone has a different story and every patient with AA is different. I was just at a Patient Education day for AAMAC in Toronto and I met many people who took the ATG and it worked for them and they are able to lead productive lives.
Annya, my advice is to take it one day and one week at a time. I wish you all the very best and I will be sending good thoughts your way.
