Cyclosporine and Transplant question

My sister's new dr has taken her off both the Leukine and Aranesp about a week or so ago.

Now he wants her off the cyclosporine for 2mths before they do the transplant. Why do you think they are stopping the cyclosporine now? I thought you continued that even after transplant? They stopped her cold turkey also. I thought I read somewhere about being weaned off it. She takes 300mg a day.

My other sister is now her care giver so I'm just voicing my questions to her and letting her ask the doctor.

What is your take on this?

They did another bone marrow biopsy and it's still saying that it's early MDS.
