We were told that a small percentage of people with AA can recover counts with no treatment. I think it's about 20%. So yes, it does happen. Most docs will take a wait and see approach when the reason for the AA can be tied to a drug. It is possible for the bone marrow to recover once the offending toxin is removed.
