Bev. Choy Welcome aboard, Remember Never, Never give UP!

This is sad, but I think this great as far as some compensation. Even if the tumor is non cancerous. Agent Orange has cause all kind of health problems. VA will try to find away out of this? Great Vietnam Blue Water Sailor!

That 6.7 millon that could help a lot Veteran coming home. I hope there is Veteran's waiting for him with a blanket party

Berta, THANK yOU for all you do, God Bless you!

The VP and congress need to give back some money.

John, I would go back and tell him to look at secondary problems to DMII. In make case I had IHD and PN. In the case of PN, it had been there and I did not know until I did a Neurophysiological test from a specialist. At this time I found Nerve damage in my legs and hands. It help me get more compensation.

Berta, Yes that was great, and that is what he should be rememeber for. RIP

General Norman Schwarzkopf is dead at the aged of 78. This was the news on the Telegraph (and on every media) two days ago. It is sad thought to think that nobody seems to really know what killed the “Stormin” (The Grizzly Bear of the desert as many called him). They write this; “Schwarzkopf himself largely kept out of the limelight. He was diagnosed with prostate cancer in 1993, but was treated successfully, and is thought to have died from pneumonia.” In another news site they say this; “…Norman survived combat in Vietnam, and the war in the Middle East but tragically couldn't win his battle with prostate cancer.” I took this soldier’s words seriously when diagnosed with prostate cancer back in 2000. His famous name was recognized and his comments on PCa helped many of us to face the disease with courage and to talk openly about it. I recall reading him to say that “…now we got the internet as our ‘savior of information’ on the disease”. I see it happen in my case because it has been the internet where I have found a “niche” where to call in times of uncertainty. The net has been a source of help along my twelve years living with the bandit. General Norman Schwarzkopf had surgery in 1994 but not much is known about his cancer’s aggressivity or the treatment results. He became a spokesman for the Nature Conservancy and an initiative to fund prostate cancer research. He once wrote; “.. When my doctor said, “General, you have prostate cancer,” I was thrust into an immediate and fearful state of confusion. I can still recall my inability to move a muscle for what seemed like an eternity after hearing my diagnosis. (Gen. H. Norman Schwarzkopf)

You got to be careful with VA. If they think you are trouble, they will put you on LA-LA land drugs. This is Hightower is a piece of work. If you into is eyes, he had the look of PTSD or the devil. Every time I try to say something, he would shut me up and say stick to the subject and don't get off the subject.

Yes, I'm a white guy in the early 60's, but he was the crazy guy, who look with in a 40's or 50's and maybe was the one who denied my claim for depression!! I'm close to 420 % plus percentage and he did not think-------- I was not depress! I'm depress!!!!! I'm frighting for my life

I went to Fort Worth for a C&P. The guy I saw first, was having PTSD problem's . He got in my face and was pretty much worthless. The other C&P test there was pretty good, but I do not think he knew what he was doing.

Even if they are moving it forward, IT'S still Punishment!!!!

Welcome to Hadit, and thank you for your service!

John 999, my bomb is happening. The prostate cancer is on the run. The 2 year clock is running and there is no place to hide-out. Agent Orange will be here a long time

Carlie and etihwr, thank you both for the direction and information. SP4RVN1971

A veteran friend of mine, which is 88 years old and occupation at Nagasaki in Sept 1945 until July of 1946. In the last 15 years he has come down with cancer's in different place. He found out about the Atomic Veteran radiation. He file in the first of this year, and time is not on this side. VA has not ask for a C&P yet, all they have send is letter's as late as Sept. saying sorry for the delay. He does not have a VSO or DAV person to help. Should I call VA direct for him or should I take this to VSO down at the VA hospital? Would like input Please!

I agree with Warren, I think your chances of increase is on it way. Keep fighting and specially never give up! Good luck and God bless!

Capt. Thank you again for stay on top of this. Never give up!

If you don't mine me asking, what type of condition's.

Welcome aboard!

Welcome aboard!!!

Welcome Aboard, There is a lot of people that can help you here!

Thank you for your time and service. Since my condition's are related to AO, keep us update, if you get the chance.

Papa, I think that any time a privite doctor does a DBQ. The chances are better than worst and it might delay it a little or maybe a lot, but that DBQ give you a better chance for increase compensation. Good luck God bless!
