You can't tell in advance if recovery from SCT will be clear sailing such as you experienced or some bumps in the road like I had. I survived the bumps so the SCT was the right decision.
I have a friend of a friend with mild MDS. She did well for 4 years on Vidaza. 6 months ago her blood counts deteriorated. Her doctor told her she was living on borrowed time, a transplant was her only option. She put it off and as a result required more aggressive chemo to get in shape for the transplant and suffered congestive heart problem. Transplant had to be put off. Watch and wait does not always work.
It is good to hear that you had an uneventful recovery. Keep up the good work.
