Carole L,
Very tough decisions. I think the earlier a person decides the course of action the better. MDS seems to wait for no one. If a person decides to extend their life, it is very important to do so in optimum health. MDS seems to thrive on any weakness. It is a sobering disease. The only chance for extending life at your stage will probably be Vidaza then stem cell transplant, but that is for your Drs. to advise. Many, perhaps most, of us have been where you are in this decision making process. There is no wrong decision because it is so personal. Vidaza would be the least of my worries.
I wish you the best.
