Secondary MDS after chemo for CLL/ VA
Thanks for all the excellent info re: MDS and Agent Orange. My husband is a Vietnam vet, Phu Cat AB in 69-70. He was dx with CLL (VA presumptive) in 2007 and did a round of chemo. He never applied for disability benefits due to exspouse support rules- blah blah. Now he's been dx with Secondary MDS, which his oncologist says is most likely due to his previous chemo, and will probably need to retire. He is applying for VA disability. I wonder if we should even bring up his MDS? It's not like he was cured of the CLL, just in remission.
Has anyone gone through the VA and listed MDS as a secondary condition, and what if any were the results?
