Thanks! In my case, the treatment was the same either way regardless of whether the label was MDS or AML. They started me on Vidaza immediately and recommended a transplant asap. I was resistant to the idea of transplant so it's a good thing the Vidaza worked so well for me while I was wrapping my mind around the idea. A big problem with MDS is that it can be so different for each case - it can "smoulder" slowly for years or progress rapidly to AML. Depending on the chromosome abnormalities, MDS in one person can be more serious than AML in another. The BMB results are essential for a proper diagnosis.
