New Medical Info

FYI - Interesting information in the recent newsletter from the AA MDS International Foundation. Specifically, check out the page 5 of the newsletter, regarding latest medical findings:

Article reinforces the importance of very slow tapering of Cyclosporine, which lowers risk of relapse in ATG responders. Unfortunately, seems like fast tapers occur too often when patients are treated with Hemotologists without sufficient AA experience.
