MDS is not a cancer it is a desease of the autoimmune sytem. It is not curable, it is not genetic, it is not passed on to your children. It does not spread, it only effects the blood, it may progress to leukemia or maybe not. live your live for for tomorrow, it will progress no matter what you do. You can take medication to help forestall it, enjoy life and don't lose any sleep, it won't change anything
