HadIt.com Elder john999 Posted May 25, 2010 HadIt.com Elder Share Posted May 25, 2010 Colon cancer is not presumptive for AO exposure. If you have prostate cancer and it spreads to the colon then it would be covered, but the SC would still be for prostate cancer. A cancer that spreads to other parts of the body has to start in a body part that is presumptive for AO. If you have lung cancer and you get brain cancer which kills you it is the presumptive lung cancer you get SC'ed for by the VA. What the VA will do is sometimes say that a presumptive cancer is the result of a non presumptive cancer spreading. This is bad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
