Question I need to understand AA

Hello!


For 4 months we were told my husband has MDS.
After 4 hospitals he was submited today to 4th mielogram and 2nd bone biopsy.
This doctor things my husband has more probabilities of having AA than MDS.
Although I've learned a lot about MDS I know nothing or almost nothind about AA.

Doctor told if he is right my husband will be hospitalized, no less than 4 weeks to have immunosupression therapy.

I wonder: what's the difference between MDS and AA?
To have imunossupressors in hospital does the patient be in total isolation as in bone marrow transplant?

Doctor told it's easier to treat AA than MDS. Is this right?

As you can see I need to know all you can tell me.

More, can you please give me some guidance about the questions I will put doctor when we go there to have the outcomes of today tests?

I have no words to say how grateful I am for you all in this forum. I really mean it. I think I might had gone already crazy if it wasn't your help.

God bless you all!
