[Testicular Cancer From Being Exposed To Agent Orange]

Berta and Chuck,

I flew C-141's for 3 years and C-5's for 12 years.   It has been so long one of my Doctors has passed away and the other has retired but I have sent a request in for the records from the hospital.  I was diagnosed with Embryonal cell carcinoma with mixed germ cell tumor.   Thank you for your responses.   I greatly appreciate all the work you are doing for the veterans of this country.  

[Testicular Cancer From Being Exposed To Agent Orange]

Greetings All,

Just to let everyone know I just recently discovered the VA might be recognizing Testicular Cancer.   Though I am not certain as of yet, it seems, from reading here and other links that there is a possibility.   I served in Vietnam for 3 years, Korea, Thailand, Okinawa, Guam and Japan.   I served as a pilot and had a Right Lateral Orchiectomy and Retro Peritoneal Lymph Node Dissection with lifelong complications from both operations.   I have recently applied for VA benefits.   But, from reading so much on this subject and the process of claim denials, appeals and the confusion regarding the process I am not sanguine with regards to the outcome.  I served between the years 1971 to 1974 in Vietnam and 1971 to 1986 in the other countries.  Thanks to all, in advance, for any suggestions.
