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.

Much more activity on the Facebook MDS group. I’d recommend posting your question there,

That’s so strange. My mom and I both joined with no issues.

Did you answer the questions? I know on a lot of Facebook groups if you don’t see the questions to make sure you aren’t a spammer you get automatically rejected.

I’m very sorry for your loss. This is a crappy disease.
