Mitch, I wish you the best. I thought it might be a low blast percentage in your early stages. In my situation my first blast counts were between 10-19 percent so I guess it was a "no-brainer" to start thinking about a transplant. Naturally like most of us, I had no idea about MDS. The only reason I knew about AML was that I had a friend diagnosed just two months before me.
The big question I have had was what are the options when Vidaza stops working. Revlimid did not cause me any side effects at all. The stem cell transplant was a very good option for me and I hope it will be for you. Keep in touch with us. Thank you.
