New MDS Dx, 8/19/14

Hi, my husband was just dx with high risk MDS. He has 3% blasts, low counts on all 3, red, white and platelets and he has 17q-, which is not good. He was told that there are transplants available but the chances for a good outcome, for him, were 30%. Yikes, not sure what to do now, I am reading every ii can about MDS and would love some suggestions on which way to go with this now. Also he was told that he had about a year and one half to live. Any information you can provide would be greatly appreciated. Thank you so much.
