Thank you for the info. My husband had high risk MDS/MPN Crossover. He was diagnosed in July. So far, the chemo meds haven't been as effective as hoped in lowering blasts enough to qualify for transplant, but we are hoping this cycle does it. I'm sure I'll have more questions as we get closer.

Fortunately, there are several 8/8 matches.

@flankj I’ll keep my fingers crossed for your husband that this round of chemo does the trick so he can go ahead with the transplant.
Have you talked it over with his doctor about the plan moving forward if his blast count isn’t below the threshold? What has his treatment been for his MDS/MPN diagnosis?
