Default Agent Orange

Looks pretty professional and credible. Pretty much anybody who set
foot in-country is presumptive for Agent Orange as a causative factor
for some cancers.

(I've got a VA evaluation pending right now for Agent Orange
determination of squamous cell carcinoma, primary tumor undetermined,
manifested in lymph nodes of the neck. Ten and a half hours of surgery
and 39 sessions of radiation in 2003--coming up on my five year
anniversary in January. And, I wasn't stationed in-country, merely
passed through Danang and Bien Hoa and Tan Son Nhut many times.)

And, that manifested at age 60.

Ed, I missed this earlier

First of all, best hope for best outcome

Just a question where did you get treated?
