Prognosis is 5 months to 15 years depending the risk level. I had very high risk MDS RAEB2 (5 month type). I had a transplant 4 years ago that cured the MDS and gave me GVHD in exchange, I recently went to a BMT reunion and met a man who had a transplant 25 years ago.
I am not as old as your grandfather, I am 78. I have lost strength and endurance mostly due to drug side effects. I still manage to walk 3 miles 5 days a week and workout at the gym 45 minutes the other 2. If he doesn't give up he can still be pretty active.
