Halfway Treatment?

I saw the hematologist a few days ago. He diagnosed me with "MDS with excess blasts." He gave me three treatment options: (1) weekly blood draws and weekly retacrit, (2) vidaza, (3) stem cell transplant.

I am wondering if there is a "halfway treatment" stronger than (1) but less intimidating than (2)?

They tell me vidaza is chemotherapy. I've seen many family members and friends devastated by chemotherapy. I am intimidated by it.
