First of all, I'm so sorry about your wife's cancer, that she was kicked out of the trial and now you're facing this uncertainty about what else is going on.

If, after the bone marrow biopsy results come back and there is a diagnosis of MDS, you will want to know what is the classification/subtype -- that will drive the treatment options offered by your wife's doctors.

Here is a list of other questions you might consider

I hope you get the bone marrow results back soon. The waiting is awful.
