Hi sttery,
In this article the author writes:"
Hypoplastic MDS is a relatively infrequent subtype of MDS that frequently overlaps with aplastic anemia and for which there is evidence of significant immune deregulation. The bone marrow is hypocellular in 10% to 20% of patients with MDS, defined as bone marrow cellularity of less than 30% in patients younger than 70 years or less than 20% in those older than 70 years. Treatment approaches for patients with hypoplastic MDS depend on the center and the age of the patient. Our group has had an approach for these patients that is similar to that for patients with aplastic anemia".

As Hopeful wrote you have responded very well to cyclosporine.
I have hypocellular bone marrow too but that depends on severe fibrosis that not is a positive sign.
Kind regards
