DX SAA 1/2000
ATG/G-CSF/Cyclo |
| I got diagnosed with severe aplastic anemia in january 2000. It was the first time I eveer heard of this disease. It was the first I was really ill and in a hospital for it. So loads of new experiences for me. I was treated with ATG, G-CSF, cyclosporine and lots of all kinds of medications. The ATG seemed to be working and in september I was going to college again, taking things slow. Things went better, my cyclosporine less and my trust more. Until the beginnings of june. My bloodcell-counts had dropped and the cyclosporine went back to 275 mg a day. A big disappointment. I just got used with being a student instead of a patient again and now I was back where I started. Now, half july, my counts have stopped dropping, the bonemarrow shows nothing funny, other than heving aplastic anemia. Today, it was thirteen days ago I had my last tranfusion with platelets and my hematologist (dr. Barge from Leiden Medical Centre) is optimistic. I am in good spirit and I believe I will get better. |
