"Many people on here talk about transplant as a choice when they are ready."
For me the determining factor for the optimum time for transplant was when the MDS was at its weakest. It was a decision made in the discussion with my doctor. She said, and I agreed, that we could wait for three months because I was feeling well. But then we would be waiting not for medical reasons, but for my convenience. Since there was no doubt that I was headed toward transplant it was important to pick the optimal time because of medical reasons.
