Timing of Transplant

I am the wife of diver down. MDS Diagnosis 10/2013 pancytopenia and very complex cytogentics; Just finished cycle 3 SQ Vidaza- BM bx just before cycle 3 stable but still with 10-15% blasts; next week will be meeting with transplant doc - 10/10 donor identified; Still with pancytopenia and require blood transfusion every 2-3 weeks; will meet with team next week to discuss going directly to transplant now vs AML type induction chemo vs continuing on the same course with vidaza-( though they do not think the same course will offer response)
has anyone gone directly into BMT without getting blasts down <5-10%?
