Julie, I wasn't trying to insult you and surely the MDS as an outcome of your husbands chemo is much more likely than not. I have been in the battle for many years focusing on MDS / AML and Vietnam veterans.
I have seen a number of BVA cases that were filed claiming MDS as secondary to treatment for other cancers - - - none that I have seen settle on behalf of the veteran. The VA will march their ex(spirts) through the room all day long saying Chemo ==> MDS and that it is not VA's fault. Without the chemo your husband would have died.
That does not mean I might not have missed a successful case.
No one will deny you a right to file but you have a slamdunk with CLL and I am not sure I would muddy the waters. If you read my immediately above, they will do darn near anything to deny you.
