JamieM,
My wife's blasts were under 5% (classified MDS-RA) and she needed 17 whole blood transfusions and 19 platelet transfusions.
The blast count can indicate the progression of the disease, but transfusions depend on day-to-day blood counts, which don't necessarily correlate with blasts in the bone marrow or blasts in the blood stream.
I'm sorry that your Mum has an uncertain diagnosis and that she has needed more frequent transfusions. You'll have more of an idea where you stand when they can get a better sample.
