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 2008 shortly after turning 60.He had put in two
claims with the VA and both were denied. All his Dr's 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.

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)

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