Kathy,
An MDS diagnosis is a lot to absorb in a short period of time. As noted by Al's wife, the sick feeling subsides, the fight comes out, and you will have the strength that you need for you and for your husband. For now, just make sure to ask lots of questions so that you understand what is happening to your husband before, during, and after treatment. Knowing what to expect really helps. Get to know what impact low blood counts have on daily life and make the adjustments.
There are a lot of really good people on this forum that can help you through with information or moral support as needed. Make sure that you take several deep breaths and take care of yourself while you are caring for your husband. It is important to maintain some balance and routine to your life as well.
Wishing the best for you and your husband.
Dan
