Deb S and Whizbang,
Thank you. Right now this seems surrealistic for me. I have never had any health problems and feel great at this time. These decisions seem strange. I think most on this forum have had the similar feelings and know exactly what I am talking about. I do have the support system and realize that the transplant is a BIG decision, but I am also aware that Vidaza is not effective for long periods. The Dr. has referred to the "mini-transplant" which is being successfully performed for people my age (67). The results from the studies I have seen are very similar and might be my only choice when the time comes. I have a very good friend who will be going through this procedure in about 20 days.
