Hi Emma - It's always sad to hear of another MDS diagnosis. Please don't despair yet.
I live in NSW and was initially diagnosed with RAEB2, but my blast count dropped without treatment and I was reclassified as RCMD which is where I've stayed for four and a half years now. I was headed for a bone marrow transplant at age 64. The haematologist at Royal North Shore Hospital (Sydney) told me they would do transplants up to the age of 70. I'm not sure what the situation is with stem cell transplants. How old is your mum?
