Stem cell transplant for my mother

My mother is diagnosed with mds high risk (TP 53). She is 57 and we were planning for bone marrow transplant but she didn’t get a full match. Kids are half match but LSA results show high antibody reaction with kid’s antibodies . Doctors have been very skeptical on this saying it’s a risk of life, relapse rate and complication risks are high plus with new LSA results chances of rejections als goes up. Can someone tell me with desensitisation , has anyone undergone this transplant and how do I take this decision. Very scared . If someone has gone through something similar please share you experience

  1. Experience of the process ? What did doctors recommend in your case. My doctors are not pushing for transplant

  2. Caregiver’s experience and will one be needed full time ? Due to my job I may not be there full time

  3. Cost of treatment

  4. Quality of life afterwards
