There's a member on here still posting that had an 8/10 match with the same odds, they figured 20-30 % was better than 0%. That poster is still posting.. Keep in mind none of these SCT's have high odds
One day I most probably will have to make the same decision, and after reading the many success stories on here I have to say my confidence level is much higher than it was and the decision will be a lot easier.
Yes, people have had SCT when MDL transformed to AML and are here to talk about it. The Vidaza question is one for the transplant team but after a while it stops working. However, the fact that he had this treatment could be beneficial and increase his odds for the SCT.
The best you can do for your parents is to be supportive and ask the questions they might not think to ask. I'm sure you'll get some better answers from the more savvy members but hope this helps in the meantime.
