(21,957 posts)Well, MDS is essentially "leukemia". I think they just couch it in a acronym that isn't so awful sounding.

(5,363 posts)cells harvested for later but havent had the transplant. Sorry not to be able to relate to MDS, but do know a lot of MM patients who've had a transplant since it has been a standard of care, though more common. are autologous vs the allogeneic your wife will be getting. One noteable patient I know, a leader in our community, was on deaths door and got an allogeneic from his brother as salvage. That was ~ 15-20 yrs ago I think and he is basically cured, and cure isnt a common word with MM.
All the best to your wife, and you, as you two navigate through this.
