Hi Mary Alisha,
So sorry to hear this news. There are others who have transformed from AA to MDS and have never progressed to AML so it's not an automatic progression. I think alot has to do with the type of MDS also.
Your sister was/is on a white blood growth factor which can effect the cytogenic of the bone marrow. Has her currrent doc taken her off the growth factor yet? I know her counts were up quite a bit on your last post about WBC. You may want to considered asking the new doctor to repeat the Bone Marrow Biopsy once she's been off the the neupogen to see if it settles down or reverts back to AA.
