Melissa,
I'm so sorry to hear this news. We've been rooting for a better outcome ever since you first told us about your mom's secondary MDS. It sounds like her doctor was painfully honest with you about the failed transplant and her choices now. After it looked so positive, this is a devastating turnaround and I can't imagine how hard this must be for your family.
Your love and support are so important to your mom now. I hope she knows you are there for her as she makes these impossibly tough decisions. This may or may not happen in your family but I'll mention that some parents may want to push their adult children away to spare them suffering when things aren't going well. Don't let that happen; you need each other.
The doctors never know a prognosis with certainty, so there is always hope. If your mom's condition doesn't improve then I hope it at least stays stable. None of us last forever but 62 is much too young to lose this battle.
