One (perhaps primary) of the purposes of Dacogen or Vidaza is to prepare for transplant while in remission. Going into transplant in optimum health condition is very important. From a personal view, I am on Day +163 following SCT and have had almost zero problems so far ("knock on wood"). I went into SCT feeling very well and in remission. We all know that it is a "roll of the dice" and everyone seems to have their own unique experience, but situation going into SCT does have an influence on the prognosis.
This disease creates many difficult decisions. Do the best you can to control what you can.
I wish you the best, these are very personal decisions.
