VietNam Veterans with Cancer

Soft Tissue Sarcomas

My husband who served 28 months in Viet Nam with the Marines and had his first bout with squamous cell carcinoma in 1998. Which was of the tonsils. He was cancer free till 2003 and then had a radical neck dissection. It came back at the base of the tongue in 2005 and then again the tongue and throat 2006. He passed away this past August 2007 shortly after turning 60.  He had put in two claims with the VA and both were denied. All his Drs feel that the chemicals in Viet Nam contributed to his cancer and have stated this to the VA. They all have also said what is going to happen is after all these men are gone the government will say so sorry that was the cause of there cancer.

 

re: squamous cell carcinoma
 
I am very sorry for your loss.
And that you have suffered the indignity of no compensation
 
Did your husband also have fatigue and did his family share that he had a personality change? ... short term memory loss?  headaches?
 
I personally think that they have pinned what happened to the Vietnam vet ... on the wrong chemical exposure ... and that if the same 'real cause of harm' is not avoided by everyone ... many various cancers & autoimmune issues in particular ... are possible for non military as well.
 
Did he recall any serious flu symptoms?
 
Do WWII Vets, Vietnam Vets, Korean Vets, Gulf war vets and civilians with CFIDS look alike?  Do they look like the Exxon Valdez oil spill 'bioremediation' workers?  Do they look like our soldiers who fight in wars today?
 
Our Medical Industry and VA ... have a lot of false premises.  There is a big deal about one of the side effects of this chemical:  diabetes ... because at least they can find that.  What they need to find is the fatigue of CFIDS
 
 
I wonder if the military has checked the MSDS for CLP (gun cleaner) http://www.valdezlink.com/re/clpmsds.htm
 

I thought I saw that it had 2-butoxyethanol in it.

What is in Jet Fuel?

Dear Senator Lisa Murkowski,

       The chemical that hurt our oil spill cleanup workers is not recognized.

It hurts civilians and military.

There is a lot of wrong thinking in our health care this past century  *

We have proof of harm to civilians with CFIDS, FM, CFS ... and that 'gulf war syndrome' is caused from the same chemical exposure: 2-butoxyethanol

A doctor's interest in brain tumors ... caused by a chemical exposure?
