I think your doctors concern is that what you have now doesn't follow the flow chart that leads to SCT. You didn't mention the type of MDS or what the actual diagnosis was. Keep in mind the BMT might not cure the Tinnitus. As Birgitta mentioned Its best to see an MDS specialist or Transplant specialist if you haven't seen an MDS specialist that sees many MDS patients, they're usually at academic hospitals or research facilities like Mayo where you were but not always(you mentioned you switched Dr's.) . I hope with the right doctors you can find an alternative to a BMT. If they can get your hemoglobin up further than a transfusion can that might give you more energy and provide relief from the Tinnitus. The thing about Tinnitus is many people that don't have other health problems have it.
