From here you can compare the different transplant centers.
http://bethematch.org/For-Patients-a...comes-for-MDS/

Sloan has an incredible success rate with MDS as well as their other disease types. But, many people have good results elsewhere.

Vidaza 5 days on off 2 and vidaza 7 days is really the same thing. Some centers aren't open on weekends so that's how you get off 2. Dacogen is similar to vidaza in the way that it works, some docs like dacogen some vidaza. Don't know if its worth doing the trial knowing that the response rate to vidaza& dacogen is good. If going to transplant while waiting for the donor the thinking is to stabilize the disease before transplant. The dacogen & vidaza is used to get the blast count down.

This is overwhelming but there's a lot of info on this site and a lot of people that walk the same streets and will help. Take it one day at a time.
