Michele,
I was 45 when I was diagnosed with high risk MDS on 6/18/2013, they wanted me to go right to transplant on 8/19/2013... But I ended up getting my transplant on 10/31/2013 after two rounds of Dacogen, which took me into full remission... I did have a sibling match...
Timing for his transplant will depend upon his health, pre-testing, and of course his donor...
Check out my story here:

Best Regards, and God Bless...
