Newly diagnosed

Hello, everybody! I'm newly dx with MDS. I was used to live- very well- with CLL (chronic lymphocytic leukaemia) for 15 yrs... quite a picnic compared with what awaits me with MDS! My MDS is chemo related... The treatment for CLL was Fludara-chlorambucil-Rituxan... which works well, except that about 5 to 7 % of the patients who receive this chemo treatment will develop a MDS. I'm among them!
Is anyone aware of other similar cases? The classification of my MDS would be RAEB-1, with no chromosomal abnormalities. I'm totally new with the MDS vocabulary...
Of course, the great question: what awaits me now?
