I am not sure where you are, but in Manitoba you have to wait until you have tried all other meds if any. I was told only 2 MDS patients a year get transplants here. Age is also a factor, after the age of 70 they do not do them as a rule here. I was diagnosed in Oct 2008 and I am just now in the process of getting that started. I actually see the Dr later today and hope I will know more.
