Dear mola-tecta,
I am so happy that your mother's blood has held. That is fabulous!
I wasn't ignoring you, by the way. I am very sorry if you thought otherwise.
Every blood draw for my mother has turned into a life-or-death feeling for me. Even though her neutrophils are staying up, I just don't like her living transfusion-dependent this long. If her neutrophils have come up in the past few months with occasional rises in blood, I can't see how the ATG is not working.
@ Marlene: That is amazing that John is still doing well. You don't need high levels of anything to live a normal life. There is a woman from India whose hemoglobin has always been between 8-9 (not aplastic anemia, but some iron deficiency issue), and she lives a normal life, although she won't be running a marathon. Interestingly, she can work and do housework.
I wish you all the best for health and happiness.
