I think this is what my hematologist is thinking, that the exact diagnosis doesn't really matter because I will need a MBT anyway. However, the BMT team feels it is necessary and the BMT doctor is afraid that a transplant might be too risky if I get an infection during the process and it triggers my blood disorder. My hematologist says I wil die from sepsis if I don't get a transplant. My counts aren't to the critical point yet but she is trying to get everything ready so when I get to the crisis point I'm ready-all very complicated.

It will be a year in June since my first biopsy and my counts are trending downward. When I am hospitalized with an infection they really bottom out and my hematologist feels I am just one infection away from a real crisis.
