Questions about chemo or drug-related MDS

Hi everyone!
Your forum seems to be so helpful.... though a little intimidating because there are So!... many informations. A friendly jungle, but a jungle all the same!
I was wondering if someone in our group knows about chemo-related MDS and what are the pronostics for this kind of MDS? My MDS appeared five years after a successful chemo ( Fludara-chlorambucil-Rituxan) against CLL ( chronic lymphocytic leukaemia). It seems this will happen to about 5 to 7 % of people taking this treatment ( an information I did not have at the time then).
Thanks for your information about similar cases or if you know of any medical article on the subject.
I hope to read you soon
