I agree that it blows my mind someone out there is willing to do this so you can live. I understand the fear, very much a constant worry for me at the moment heading into my transplant scheduled for 6th of March. However definitely go for transplant before mds transforms to aml. I am interested in mortality rates they quoted in Australia I was told 20% die, 40% relapse & 40% cured with potential GVHD. Last percentage I was told was 20-30% mortality before the dr said "sign here to waver liability". Good luck with your decision. However I guess in scheme of things still better than 100% chance of not seeing the year out.
