Is it possible that your mother did not give the doctor permission to talk to you alone? Privacy policies in US prohibit giving medical data without the written permission of the patient. I second the opinion that you need an oncologist that treats many MDS patients.
I was 73 when I had a SCT. At the time I was told that patients in their 80's had SCT. Now 8 months after my SCT my oncologist said that he thinks I am probably cured of the MDS and should live a "near normal" lifetime. I think that should be more than 3 years. See my other posts about recovery.
