Difficult decision for all of us!
That is a very difficult decision. For me, 5 years ago, only a mini transplant was offered (if you were over 60 yrs.), but now I have read that transplants are done on much older individuals. The more education about the disease and treatments options helps a bit in your decision. I decided to try the drug first and had such a quick and good response, I chose continuing with it and hoping that a new drug, combination, or another way of attacking MDS, etc. would come along in the future. Basically, tho, I just went with my "gut" feeling!
Hope you continue to do well!!
