I was diagnosed RAEB2 at the end of November, I am still reeling too.
I feel physically fit but my emotional state is like a roller coaster.
I start my fourth cycle on 7/4 and have not had any adverse reactions so far except fatigue when the cycle ends.
The hospital have arranged for me to see a counsellor this week and I hope she can help me to cope with the dread and panic I often experience about my future.
If your husband is going through the same as I am please ask if he can have counselling.
It's a real shock get this diagnosis, but expert help is there if you need it.
Best wishes and good luck to you both.

Anthony
Ps if there is any other information you need please don't hesitate to ask me.
