Red face Awaiting 2nd Round of ATG

Hi again!!
Ok so, since my last appointment (26/01/16) I have found out that I only have Aplastic Anaemia and no signs of MDS, which is good!
Doc has opted for a 2nd round of ATG, I was due in hospital on Monday but the YPU doesnt have any beds ugh

Currently sporting a PICC Line, the procedure went well but I bled a lot (damn platelets x.x) Its a little bit of a nuisance and is making me concious of every twinge of pain I get in case something is wrong with it >.>

Should hopefully be admitted today maybe, even if it is late in the evening. really hope so anyway

It's both funny and sad at the same time to be able to say, "yay it''s only Aplastic Anemia", but it really is a celebration.

Did they use horse the first time, and will they use horse again, or will they use rabbit? I thought there was some study about a repeat treatment and which was better.

Good luck to you!
