Can you get a stem cell transplant with normal blood counts and no symptoms?
Community Member
3 days agoAnyone undergone a stem cell transplant with normal blood counts and no symptoms? I was diagnosed in Nov 2025 with MDS TP53 mutation, rare variant, 80% VAF, and complex karyotype. But my blood count is normal, blasts 1-2% and no symptoms. I've seen 7 docs. They all encourage me to get a transplant now.

3 days agoTransplant decisions when blood counts appear normal can feel especially challenging, and consulting multiple specialists shows great advocacy for your health. Many people in the MDS community face similar situations where high-risk genetic features may prompt treatment recommendations even when symptoms aren't present yet. The experiences and insights from others who've navigated comparable decisions could be really valuable as you work through this important choice with your medical team.
