Gadzooks...looks like all of III Corps was one big chemical cocktail...kind of surprising, as most of the jungle we were in had not been sprayed...but almost all of the roads thru same had a wide path on either side that had been.....

Exclamation Help

When I asked for compensation for cancer caused by Agent Orange sent in all the paperwork, especially the letters from doctors and an outline of my service in Vietnam. Later when they tried to take the disability away, I asked for the VA's records. There was a red mark next to "25th Division". That map sort of indicates why.

ATTENTION::: I'm old and have a bad memory. I had made a post a few months ago saying that I had a bumper sticker (on the rear window of my car) that says:
Agent Orange Health Club Life Member with a skull and cross bones on it. Someone asked where he could get one and sorry but I forgot who it was. Those stickers 3"X3" may be purchases at the following site:
www.dandfoutfitters.com
They are $2.00 per. They also have unit stickers etc.

Stay healthy, get a check up,
Andy

Exclamation ArtySgt

That is AO related! A lot of AO caused cancers "move" that is not a good thing. Just hope your on a first name basis with more than one doctor. You have filed for a disability, correct??? Do you also have blisters, "of an unknown origin"? Or do you have blisters that don't go away? That is also related to exposure to AO. Good luck my friend and for God's sake,

Stay healthy,
Andy

Have a brother-in-law that was all around that III area. He's all eaten up and never been right since he got back. Breaks my heart... went in a boy sweet 18 year old and came back a vegetable. How he stays alive is beyond me. It hurts to see him this way and remember him how he was. Never had no kids or could keep a wife with the PTSD and all. He outlived his two brothers who went though. They died of roudy living...all related. Sad waste of life. That map puts things in perspective.

You too!!! Fight them, don't give the bastards the satisfaction. The VA is throwing the bull. There's little doubt a private doctor would say it was "probable" the Orange caused or at least contributed to the cancer. If you don't fight their decision you are, in fact, taking money away from your family. Further, if you have a "round 2" (God Forbid), it could be worst and already having laid the foundation for a claim and for treatment is very important. Just Do It.

Doc, you are a little newer to the site than some, let me give you a quick bio. I got sick in '97. At the beginning of '98 I was told I was 4th stage with small cell non-Hogkinson's Lymphoma which had "moved" into my bone marrow. Text books, the computer will tell you such a person has 6 months max to live. God and some big time Boston doctors kept me alive and now I'm doing fine, having been an experiment with some new drugs and combinations of drugs. The VA didn't move until the doctor's letters started flowing. Later they dropped me to 40% for the cancer, more letters and some help from people right here on this site and I'm now "permanant and total". Living in III Corps for
26 1/2 months has a direct cause and effect with the cancer.
You could have gotten drafted, you could have signed for 3 years, you could have done 20 but on that dotted line you were not signing up for cancer. You fought then, fight now.

Please stay healthy, please get what is owed to you,
Andy
