My husband had MDS and was treated with only Procrit shots for 18 months. It then transformed into AML with 50% blasts. He had induction and attained remission. He is now undergoing the stem cell transplant and he is 74 years of age. He is in great physical condition, but I see many other patients undergoing this procedure that are seemingly not in as good of shape. It is imperative that you go to a doctor that you are both comfortable with and that is very knowledgeable on both of these diseases and can share that information with you. This is not the time to throw in the towel and "go with the flow". Learn all you can and then make the right decision for you.
