Has your husband had a genetic test? I did at City of Hope in Duarte, CA and they found one for sure mutation. Then 2 years later diagnosed with MDS and have a TP53 mutation. I had a bone marrow transplant 2 years ago.
Seems impossible to share a blood disease like this with another.
Keep us posted. I know a moderator will post soon.

@katgob My husband is just starting into testing his bone marrow. We are older now, but he did have a sister who died of a sudden attack thought to be flu/pneumonia, but it turned out to be leukemia and she died within two weeks of that diagnosis. Again, I am wondering about hereditary influences.
