Default Re: Viet Nam Navy may be eligible

Jim , I am sorry I have not answered your post sooner, my husband is under going chemotherapy as a result of being exposed to Agent Orange.
Are you using the VA as your primary care? If you are, I would ask them to do a pet scan to determine if the cancer shows in any other part of your body. However if you had your prostate removed that is one form that is recognized. There are other diseases that resulted from Agent Orange. Here are a few: Al Amyloidosis, Chronic B cell Leukemias, chloracne, Type II diabetes Hodgkins disease, Ischemic heart disease, Multiple Myleoma, non Hodgkins disease, Parkinsons disease, prostate cancer, respiratory cancers , soft tissue sarcomas. You can find the list on www.publichealth.va.gov/exposures/index.asp
I hope this answers some of your questions.
