  1. Since they remove your prostate in 2004, how your PSA count doing?
  2. VA consider you are being payed for that thru ED. when you loss your Prostate due to AO, you loss your sperm gland. You should all ready be receiving SMC
  3. Well I tomorrow for my first test and let you know how it goes. On a another subject, be careful with Cymbalta my doctor took me off this medicine, it was suppost to help with PN.
  4. So do you have any suggestion to handle this independent evaluation group. i have so much DR. support from MD Anderson to 6 diff Dr's in Dallas. The last VA c&p test for my PN the doc notice my left leg 2 " smaller on the lower part.
  5. I think thats what i mean, the terms are killing me. I mean P&T and thanks for clearing my term mess up. I'm at 260% and more to come and trying for Champva for my wife.
  6. Evandc, iwas under the impression to unemployable thru va. That would get me a higher level of disability.
  7. They are called Veterans Evaluation Services. I don't know who they are!

The following test will be perform 1) echocardiogram to include ejection. 2) EKG. 3) Chest X-ray. 4) UA (urinalysis). 5) CMP? 6) CBC? 7) UGI? all these abreviation? That's one day of test The second test on : Gastroesophageal Reflux disease second toDMII (ESOPH/HERNIA) Cancer of the lymph nodes second to PC ( LYMPHATIC DISOR) Coronary Artery Disease second to DMII (heart) DMII secondary PN to the right side and left side to the upper and lower and erectile dysfunction Prostate cancer with prostatectomy Thanks Goverment for all you do. You send billion's over sea to goverment's that don't like the USA! To the veteran's that have to fight in war's that YOU forget in a few year's. That's sad!!! God bless the fallen and to war that keep's taken.
  9. VA has turn my case over to a indepentent firm to do sa study on my TDIU snd they will report to VA. Is that good or bad?
  10. Carlie, thank you plain English, thank you again, Sp4
  11. I am alot confused, I filed for unemployable thru VA. What does that get me.What is TDIU?
  12. John999, if am unemployable by VA what does that get me? I have only been working for this company about 3 years. Yes i get SMC and What is a chapter 35? thanks Sp4
  13. I start off with not knowing where am going! As the doctor's give me more med's to fight the AO prostate cancer and the other thing going wrong (PN) and getting sicker from the med's.The medication am on make's me weak and sick, but without it I will kick the bucket. I find myself missing more work at lease 2days or more a week. I'm out of vacation and sick time. My employer is been ok with it so far and think that will end.. So last week file for TDIU thru the 800-number , my question is what doc's should i get together? If I lose my job, I need to my direction for insurance for wife. I know i can file for CHAMPVA , but is that my best opition? VA has me at 100% scd and a total 260% and it will be more in the months to come. Will i have to quit my job to file for SSD?
  14. I found that if the a vetaren try's to work with the 1-800 personell in a nice way, they will treat you the same. I know the they have to follow the rules.
  15. Question, If you are at 260% compensation should you go after more? I feel that I can prove another 100% more, but what is the point? You can only get 100% pay.
  16. Went to VA on friday and saw the VA c&p Doctor. I have 20 % both legs and 0% for for my arms. The Doctor did his normal test, but notice my left leg was 2" smaller from my knee down than my right leg since my last test in september of 2010. He said I needed to see pri doctor that handle's PN and I was luckly I have all ready started. The DMII is not that bad for me, but VA consider my Pn is secondary. As JBASSER said there is another path for PN. My left leg contiues to get worst and right is just starting to give me more trouble! I turn 60 in june and should be able to work until i was 70 like my father. The Doctor i see said that I have nerve damage to both side on legs and arms. He believes that it was not DMII, but not sure of what? I go back for more test at the end of MAY. Oh, by the way Lymph nodes causes PC is still there and going back to MD Anderson in June. I will not lose the battle or WAR. God help us in all in our battles!
  17. Cuchi, I just want you to know that my bone scan came back clean, and VA did settle at 100 %. I'm going back to MD anderson for more test. Now that I'm a 100% comp. I will go for my SSDI because I'm getting slower. I dont know how to do that, but all these brain's in HADIT, they will find me to the next fire base.
  18. Terry, with my prostate cancer on the rise. The PN alarms me more, because losing more use of my hands. I go to VA next week for two days more test and I guess they have a Primary doc I see also. I went to the a local hospital for Bone scan yesterday to see if the PC is there? Thanks Keep in touch, and I feel the pain! God bless you
  19. John 99 They gave me 20% each leg. My primary doc had some test done, and I think my rating will go up. With everything together they rated me at 260% and I know that only gives me 100%. fussy math
  20. I been going to MD Anderson cancer center in Houston. This place is city in it self and over 22,000 cancer outpatience everyday and even has nice hotel and bar . I Started going to MD a year ago and the DOC's explain to me about psa cell's and its mutation cell's. From the psa cancer cell it can and will mutation to another type cancer like brain, lung, bone, bladder, etc. Thanks again AO! It move from the prostate to the Lymph nodes which there are 1000's of LN thru out the body. If you do not have a prostate and your psa is going up. Seek help!The androgen deprivation therapy shot work for me for about six months, it should of lasted for years in most case. Oh but not me . My psa cancer is mutating to another form and it's to small see. They started a different hormone to hope it will slow it down. My point is to all VET's please get your prostate check every year. PS that goes for all Vet's!
  21. I just went to pvt neurologist today and I told him about my problem with the gabapentin. He is slowly removing me from it and try something else. I will ask him about Topamax, Thanks.
  22. Capt. Contaminate, I'm on the Gabapentin and taking about 1200 mg aday and the Doc's want to increase it to 1800mg. I'm not liking how I feel and what kind of problem's did you have? I feel like it is messing with me.
  23. I work with a vietnam veteran that when I told him about my condition. He acted like it was not true, and he still that way to day.He hates vietnam people and other's like that. I think thats wrong and he does understand. HATE is a terrible thing!!!! But we as veteran's should help other's!
  24. John999, I will have more time on my hands while they still work. Just joke. somehow we need to get the word out. The VA would not have to pay out half the money do if they would inform veteran's.
