MDS

Hi Umaterr,
I really don't understand how your husband can have high risk MDS when his blast cells are 3% that is a normal value. For high risk MDS the blast cells should be 5% or more. http://www.marrowforums.org/mds.html

Then it is true that MDS after treatment for another malignant disease like myeloma is more dangerous and that his chromosome aberration isn't OK.

How old is your husband and does he have other diseases that can make a SCT more complicated?
Kind regards
Birgitta-A
