Don't really have an answer to your question about what to ask the doctor as we are going through this ourselves. I saw your age and just wanted to let you know that my wife is 42 years old and was officially diagnosed as MDS-RAEB II on March 6. She is at John Hopkins as an inpatient finishing up induction chemo. Our doctor there thought that the best treatment option for my wife was full induction chemo with a bone marrow transplant to happen sometime in the near future. Of course each case is different. I think the doctor went this route due to the genetic findings in my wife's bone marrow biopsy. If you don't know, ask your doctor if genetic testing was done on your bone marrow biopsy. I believe it is called a FISH test.
