He has had triple bypass surgery and currently has 13 stents in his arteries. The BMT team told us he only had about a 50% chance of surviving the transplant and then a 30% chance the MDS would return. We didn’t see those as good odds at the time. Why do you suggest Cancer Treatment Centers of America over MD Anderson Cancer Center? Just curious as I don’t know anything about Cancer Treatment Centers. We chose MD Anderson because they are a research hospital with expertise in MDS and have many more trials available than the other cancer hospitals/centers I researched. Since we are in MN, Houston is a long trip not to mention expensive. I would love to find something closer to home.
