It's pre-cancer?

They diagnosed my husband with mylodisplasia, and
not sure if I spelled it right, but it's pre-cancer.
He has a pre-condition for leukemia. This has been
one rough ride.

He has been angry, with mood swings.
He's trying to stop smoking and he's taking
alot of crap out on me. The only good thing
is, they put him on a (nerve) meds, for his
problems again and let him continue. He was on
paxil and they made him stop for a time and he
was freaking out and becoming suicidal. God,
there were times, I just wanted to go down with
him--but my kids, you know?

How can I do that to them?

At any rate, he's been at the Moffitt Cancer Institute,
and they want to do a bone marrow transplant. His
brother offered to be a donor. I'm really, really
scared and I heard this is painful procedure.

I really don't know anything about any of it, except
to take one day at a time.

I don't know how we'll manage financially or anything
else. I don't know what I'm going to do with my
daughter when the time comes. I don't have family
here. He'd be out for a month or more, if things
go well. So I'm really not certain what to do,
or what to ask?

You know???

I only know they are giving him doses --like
chemo shots, that make him ill and nauseated.
He has to take pills so he doesn't throw up.
He gets so sick sometimes. This has been a
terrible roller coaster ride and I just want
us both to get off, but its' like someone
has latched us in and we can't get out!!!

I am so scared on the inside and scared of
losing him. His chances are good, but the
doctors, keep saying different things.
I don't know what to think sometimes.
