Hi, Rose.

How are you doing on Vidaza?

It doesn't sound like your situation is too "advanced" for transplant, but if you are doing well on Vidaza it seems like that is a better solution as long as it keeps you stable. Having 3 unrelated donors available is very promising, but--as I'm sure you know--the risks of transplant at any age have to be considered very carefully. If if comes to the point that you are considering a transplant, I would very definitely recommend getting multiple opinions from centers that have experience transplanting patients with MDS. You can get detailed information about transplant centers from the National Marrow Donor Program.

Regards,
Ruth Cuadra
