Thank you for responding @loribmt, @katgob , and @alive I have a much better understanding of what I am facing. Thanks Lori for the lists. I am impressed 10 and 6 yr longevity. From the research I have done, getting past 5 yrs means the likelihood of reocurrence is rare. Kat you are past the 1yr mark which is another significant milestone. You all prove the fact the younger you are, the better chances for success with the SCT. My Dr gives me a 50% chance of survival and a 50% chance of the MDS coming back. I hope to beat those odds. My odds 2 yrs ago were not much better. I don't know yet what type of port or chemo I will have. I have pre-transplant testing next Monday and Tuesday. Most of the testing was done in 2024 when anemia was affecting me. I have to do it now to make sure chemo has not changed things.
