Hi Donna T
I think most of us on the forum can understand how you are feeling now. It's an overwhelming, life-changing experience to be diagnosed with MDS. I just want to encourage you to find out as much information as you can about the disease (if you haven't already). I don't know whether you've seen the following website already (I have posted it for a few others). I think it's quite useful for explaining about SCTs: http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases...0624173242.htm
To undertake chemo, etc as an older person is a big, big decision. May God guide you to make the right choice for you.
