I'm sure this is the right place....I have been recently diagnosed with MDS at the age of 40. Needlsess to say I have MANY concerns, fears! My type is RAEB-1 excess blasts....I have done a bunch of on-line research. So what I really want to know is generally what is the prognosis for this type? How long can I expect to function? My oncologist has reffered my to the Moffit Cancer Center in Tampa, are they the BEST? I love my life and am not prepared to die anytime soon, but what I have heard the odds are not great....
Can anyone give me any insight as to the odds of BMT survival vs quality of life vs no BMT and going on with just supportive treatment? Any input would be appreciated......
