Mike,
My wife was treated for AA, then later diagnosed with MDS and successfully treated. Every case is different, but I hope you and your wife are equally successful.
You and your wife will need to learn all about MDS. Given your wife's history, you must already know quite a bit about the symptoms of low blood counts, about CBCs and other tests, and many of the words that hematologists use in their medical lingo. You'll probably have an easier time than most people understanding what you read about MDS.
Your wife should go to a physician with MDS experience for a full evaluation. One of the first questions to ask is about your wife's MDS classification or severity. That gives you an idea of what category her disease is, whether it's in the low-risk group or the high-risk group, how urgent treatment is, and what treatment choices are likely to be recommended.
Good luck.
