Hi Harini,

Sorry to hear about your mother's diagnosis. The question you are asking on life expectancy and prognosis after BMT is very different from person to person, and will depend on many things including patient health, donor match etc.
You can use the search function on this forum, and read many stories on successful BMT. You can also note how members have handled issues relating to pre and post transplant. It will prepare you to know the kind of care that is required if your mother chooses to go through BMT.
I have also read from other forum members posts that Vidaza or Dacogen are the first treatments that are given. Vidaza has been very recently introduced in India, by Intas Pharma, prior to this only Dacogen was available. Is she receiving Vidaza or Dacogen?

Hope you will find the best treatment and right answers to your questions.
