Cameron,
There are so many on this forum who know more than I do. But I do know that whatever anyone thinks may happen is just their opinion. I'm sure there have been successful transplants that were permanent cures and I imagine there are some that weren't. I know when my Mother had cancer in 1960 we were told if she was
cancer-free for five years she would be considered cured. She did live to the age of 76.
That your girlfriend had her transplant so long ago I would think bodes well for her. We were told that the only "cure" for MDS was a transplant.
I believe you are probably much younger than I am but as much as you worry you're going to be old before your time - and may make your own self sick. I remember a movie years ago. The whole movie was about a couple dealing with the fact that one of them had a terminal illness. It ended with a car wreck - and the healthy one died.
As much as you want to know the future and as much as someone wants to put your mind at ease, only God knows the future.
Make the most of each day with your girlfriend. That's all any of us can do. You're young - go out and have fun. If you are a man of faith, try and turn it over to God. He is the only One who has the answers.
She is very fortunate to have someone who cares so much for her. I would imagine though that she would like to leave that part of her life in the past and live her life to the fullest now.
God Bless,
Sally
