Watch out for IRS they have some claim when you receivce Civil Service and va LLoyd

If it is still in your prostrate u are lucky,, If gets out of prostrate to bones/lungs/glands major major problems stage 4. I have stage 4, first thing they do after Biopsy and confirmation is start you on Lupron then depending on your MD it can be radiation/chemo or some ZYTIGA medicine. The heart breaker is the Lupron shot, minimum effect is hot flashes...major is bye bye sex life. I am in a trails program at Or Health Science (OHSU med school)Zytiga has taken Prostate score from 15.00 down to .025, recently score has started back up again. My neighbor just finshed up a Lupron and Radition treatment. NO SIGN of cancer now, but it is still body. LLoyd

no, it was under extensive use of tce as a cleaning agent in tank park that made super fund epa clean up at camp pendleton

Hi I field a claim with independent doctor statement for prostrate cancer and the VA included it in the Camp LeJune claim process for bad water. I have notified them, My DAV rep has notified them to no avail. Ant Ideas? LLoyd

The front line is us and our local VA hospital, the rear eschelon is Washington DC. The REMF's have no idea what is going on, only paper reports. I had the a similar problem with Roseburg/Portland Hospital, Diagnosis with Stage 4 Prostrate cancer (In bones/glands/lungs by my Private Dr's) went to VA, told it would be 6 months before I got in. Luckly I have private ins. The only good thing is I am getting my meds with a little hassle from VA. Policies above my NP at VA. I feel real confident that the Upper mgt people in DC were not ,aware of situation, but lower bean counters there who base their reports on incoming results knew what was happening and didn't do anything because it effected their evaluatuions.. DONT ROCK THE BOAT.. LLOYD

Anyone any references to a claim for TCE exposure prostrate cancer- Diabetes II? LLoyd

I cant seem to find the area it CFR that gives me info for prostrate conditions and ratings Thank You LLoyd

Sorry Seaman I don't know how I posted on your space LLoyd

I did not get the "Golden one" ' at least as likely as not' but I did get "he relates to me that he had significant exposure to TCE. TCE exposure could have contributed to developing prostrate cancer. Will that work?

Doesn't it have to be P&T for 10 years, I have been 80 %/100 TDIU for over 16 years, they made me P&T in 05 LLoyd

Is this the liquid they cleaned the aircraft in the hanger Bays during "63-"65 off VN. lloyd

Had left knee replaced 7 Jun 11, it was rated at 30%, what will it be rated at after replacement.. LLoyd

I was awarded 80sc\TDIU 100% in Nov 97, changed to P&T in Nov 2005. Which date is used for the 10 year waiting period for wife? LLoyd

T-Bird Skip Dawg referred me here in early 1997 just after the DAV bd shut down, between you two I was able to get 100% IU in November 1997 been 13 years now and I owe you so much. Thank You for your perseverance. All in all your page has abeen a tremendous success I still lurk reading it each day for updates.....Remember the excitement "cudda" brought to the board... Again thank you LLoyd

I am not sure aboutt his but I think that Military retired pay or DIC is off set because of one of those. Is that correct and where do I find the info? LLoyd

Does anyone know where the points "yankee station and or shasta shoals" were in relationship to VN Thanks LLoyd USMC

Some good examples, I too have wondered about it, and came up with similiar definitions. My reply does not necessarily mean that day I get into the clinic about every 6 months, I figure in if I have been doped up, considerated cutting of legs, or just ending it. If you dont have pain and the resulting depression, your lucky, but try getting into system with just a complaint of pain/depression, oh they give u vicodin/oxycodin and anti depressants, which create there own problems. The VA where I go is over worked understaffed and tries to, No make that do very good with limited resources available at the level where the rubber meets the road. LLoyd

Alex was an important contributor to this board in its infancy, his clear and precise recomendations helped many, an he used his own valueable time to do it. He has certainly found a place in many vetrans hearts and I know he will do the same above us. You who keep putting out the correct information are a tribute to him. LLoyd USMC

Back in 1967 when I got my disability the VA had a "war time" rate at least that is what I think it was called or "combat rate" any way my SSO thought IT was a big deal to get that...Im not sure what it meant or what it was for LLoyd

I was contacted by Roseburg dental and told that I was elgible for Fee Basis Dental since I lived over 100 miles away. Called local dentesats and they said tyhey did take fee basis. called back Roseburg VA and then they told me I lived in wrong county not elgiblel. Anyone know anything about this or vets having to drive over 100miles for treatment. LLoyd
