Hi @twitt1949 There is no actually cut off age for a BMT though they usually aren’t performed on patients beyond 75. And at that age the patients have to be in relatively good health with no other medical issues.
I’m not going to go through all the particulars of a bone marrow transplant for you because it’s not germain to your situation.
There are many other treatment options available for patients with MDS. You watched the really informative video you provided. So the questions you gleaned from the video will be a great starting point of conversation with your doctor.

@loribmt The stem cell team just got back to me today. They told me that the only matches they had were 7/8 match. I'm not sure what that means. Is this good or bad?
