Madame,
Bone marrow reports are written by technicians who use medical terms that give precise information to the doctors, but aren't meant for us laypeople.
MDS is sometimes called "pre-leukemia" so hearing that it's not preleukemia is good news. So is "normocellular bone marrow", which means you have the right number of bone marrow cells. I've never heard the word "dyserythropoiesis" but I can guess that both it and erythroid hyperplasia mean that the process of red blood production is faulty.
The FISH test stands for "fluorescent in situ hybridization" and can detect genetic problems in chromosomes. You passed that test.
Is MDS ruled out or not? I'd be confused by that report too. I think your doctor should be the one to interpret it for you, so you should take the report to your next appointment and ask for an explanation in plain English.
