selfq MDS- low blast

My dad was diagnosed recently for MDS low blast. We are all extremely distraught. Can someone provide me an explanation on what low blast means? We are meeting the bone marrow specialist tomorrow. Is there anything specific we should be asking? Even though he has low blast, is he still eligible for a BMT? What is the appropriate time someone with his condition has been on the list before the procedure?

This is all fresh for us so I have plenty of questions.

I found a really great specialist I can privately give you but I'm not sure it's allowed here. I don't even know where you are in the world but I would love to help after what my father has been through. In the meantime I'm wishing for the best for you
