Deciding factor for transplant?

What is the deciding factor on when to get a bone marrow transplant? It seems like the earlier the better while a patient is still very healthy. But, are other approaches tried first, in my case Vidaza? I am thinking that I might not be as healthy after the Vidaza treatment. I am 67 years old and in otherwise excellent health.
