Hi @drawlings0803. I’m so glad to hear you had such a great visit with your new hematologist! Having someone that you feel is in your corner can make all the difference in the world.
The treatment plan is pretty standard with the goal of getting you into remission so that you can go ahead with the BMT. You’ll have a BMT team who will take excellent care of you wherever you’re having the procedure. And you have me, along with other members like @katgob who have had a BMT for MDS who will walk you along the path from the other side of the computer.
When you get closer to having a target date for the transplant we can talk more about what to expect, how to plan for an extended stay at a clinic, the transplant itself and recovery. It all feels intimidating, I know. But this is doable and gives you an all important second chance at life. Makes it worth the few months down time. Lots of lounging. ☺️

I hope you have a great weekend now, too! I always feel better and encouraged when I have a plan that allows me to move forward. I think you’re feeling that too.
Are the infusions at the clinic that’s 40 miles away or are you able to have that done locally?
