Ann,
Was this the result of a single blood test or has your white count been rising over the last few CBCs? If they told you that they think that MDS/CMML has turned into AML then it doesn't sound certain yet. In any case, I'm very sorry to hear that it's not low-risk MDS as they once classified you.
If there's a silver lining it's that you are at one of the top treatment centers in the country, and City of Hope is a top transplant center too. Nobody wants a transplant if they can avoid it, but if you need one then you'll be going for the ultimate prize -- a 100% cure -- and I guess one could consider that to be good news too.
If you go to transplant who would your donor be?
