Thanks for your response to my post Birgitta-A. It is so nice to connect with someone. Any advice is much appreciated. I hope that you are doing well.

I really don't know how to navigate this forum, but will express a few thoughts here.

I do not know if my husband will be offered the opportunity to have a BMT. In Canada, I believe that the recipient has to be intermediate or high risk MDS. I believe that we will get a more information on this possibility in Jan. 2013.

I tend to think that any treatment - chemo or BMT, will have many risks and adverse side effects, in addition to any benefits.
