Hello!


I was able to speak with Jorge's doctor today.

To tell the truth I think he speaks more by phone than in front of us.

I told him about yesterday CBC outcomes.
Then he said:

- That he wants to wait 2 weeks and then Jorge will have other CBC because doctor said that he wants to see "where this is leading".

- He told that return to cyclosporine may be enough to raise blood values again; otherwise ATG treatment will be considered.

Then I asked what I wanted to ask: how many times could Jorge have ATG treatment?
He answered that in our country only ATG (horse) is available and there is no story of more than 2 treatments.
He said that then it will be considered a BMT. I remind him that Jorge has no donor. He remembered me about world BMT bank.

I forgot to tell that Jorge is almost 47 years old (his birthday will be next Sunday).



I think that, besides overcoming one problem at a time, I will tell his doctor that there are:
- persons who was submitted to several ATG treatments;
- persons who stay on cyclosporine for years.


What is your opinion?
Is there anything more I can talk with Jorge's doctor?

I'm even thinking to show him this forum and those articles you provided me.

Your answers will be much appreciated.

Thank you!
