Hi Kat,
I am about 30 months post-ATG. You can see my counts both at diagnosis and recently in my signature below.
In concur with CurlyGirl. In my first month after treatment, I experienced an almost identical pattern to what you are seeing with your counts. The Prednisone apparently did the same thing to my white blood count as it did to yours. My ANC went from 0 during treatment to over 600 quite quickly, and then began plummeting again to 100 once the prednisone was removed.
I'd like to mention though, my doctor took it as a good early sign that I had that response to the prednisone. He felt it indicated some reserve of neutrophils in the marrow, which respond to stimulation.
