Question
Doc John
I was told by my VSO that some cancers are "presumptive" for service connection.
I had cancer surgery in 2000 for adenoid cystic carcinoma (a.k.a. cylindroma) , along with chemotherapy and radiation. My face is disfigured and I need physical therapy on my jaw 20-30 times a year so that I can open my mouth and chew solid food.
I am in remission but have been assured by my oncologist that metastases will occur eventually in my lungs, and it will kill me if I don't die waiting for it.
I searched hadit.com and found this decision from the VA::: http://www.va.gov/vetapp93/files2/9315426.txt
If I could get it, I would appreciate some expert VA advice from the Elders, VA employees or Berta, who helped this widow originally.
Thanks,
Doc John
