I went to my hearing in Washington armed with my two IMOs and my arguments. I actually thought my IMOs would get service connection for my husband's lung cancer. I also contacted experts who specialize in industrial medicine or toxicology to see about getting an opinion if it was more likely than not asbestos exposure had contributed to my husband's cancer. I had several doctors respond - but one said she worked as a consultant with a VSO - and that she could help me if I signed PO to them.
