MDS
Hi Kat,
It is easy to understand that Steve really does't want a transplant. When I got my dx I was 67 yo and too old for transplant in Sweden. I was thankful that I didn't have to consider that question.
Steves situation is different - he is young, fit and his disease is more advanced. It is true that he will be offered different kinds of chemo with adverse effects that will decrease his quality of life.
A transplant can be very complicated too and we never know the final result until we are there. If he changes his mind and wants a transplant it is important to prepare for that while he is in remission - after next chemo treatment he can be more ill.
Kind regards
Birgitta-A
