Base of Tongue Squamous Cell Carcinoma
My beloved Vietnam Seabee just passed away last month. He was diagnosed with base of tongue squamous cell carcinoma in 11/2014. Sadly, after a bilateral neck dissection, he had a MRSA infection and eventually succumbed to septic shock. We had never filed a claim with VA as we were too busy trying to survive. Does anyone believe this is worth pursuing? It doesn't appear that VA pays for squamous cell cancers. Does anyone have any input on this subject? Any information is greatly appreciated.

What that means, and Chuck here as well as John999 and others have made this point too. that AO is far from over. The new 2015 VBM also lists about 36 disabilities to include some involving children of Vietnam veterans that have a 'most likely' potential to be presumptive to AO in the future. This is why any Vietnam vet claiming disability due to Vietnam serv…

VA AO Ships list grows
http://www.publichealth.va.gov/exposures/agentorange/shiplist/list.asp This list has grown due in part to the work of Navy vets who proved their ships were exposed to AO during the Vietnam War. If you served on any of these ships within the date frames they state in the list, and have any AO presumptive condition, you should definitely file the claim.
