Geri,
I am new also, My Mother was diagnosed at the age of 74 with MDS. I learned so much from her and the doctors. It made me wish I had continued with nursing school. I know I am not the one with MDS but my Mother was my best friend and I was there with her through it all. Stay strong and stay positive. I read alot also, although sometimes I wish I hadn't, especially if it was a stressful period. I hope you have friends and family to talk to because throughout the treatments it's helpful to talk and get your feelings out.
God bless you and your husband.
