Janice,
Just to clarify for others, you meant the only long term cure is a transplant.
You clearly see the tradeoffs, which Greg explained so well. Like my wife, you want to be cured and don't want to wait too long. My wife had fewer choices at the time (before MDS drugs were available) but she was confident about the decision to go to transplant.
Your donor match is certainly an important factor that's yet to be determined. I'm glad you are otherwise healthy and active. That will serve you well.
