I have post ET MF. Currently I'm on Rux and getting monthly cycles of 5 aza. I don't need transfusions. Day to day I feel pretty good and can do most of what I want. The SCT was recommended because of the risk of progression to AML.
I'm finding the decision making to get the SCT very difficult. My heam/onc Dr says get it asap while I am still healthy. The transplant Dr only ever talks about it being a cure and never mentions the morbidity or the years of recovery even if it is successful. Neither Dr will/can say what changes in the blood tests, which seem stable, or BMBs would indicate a need to move to get the SCT sooner rather than later.
My gut feeling is that I don't want the SCT even though I know the outcome will not be good. I know it sounds nuts but that's what is going around in my head.
Do any of you have any thoughts on this decision making process?
