hello everyone,
I have a question about prostate cancer.
.I am TDIU P/T with a service connected Disability from my Vietnam days as a Vietnam combat veteran (68/&69. for profound hearing loss and speech dificulity
My question is this..I am a little concerned!
I went to my primary Dr at VAMC..About a year ago as I go every six months to get my meds renewed ..I was told a year ago that I have a swelled prostate...I have problems urinating & dribble (sorry) and the Dr put me on some prostate meds which don't seem to be working been taking the meds a year now...I know I need to mention this to my Dr and I will as soon as I can...do anyone else have this problem? no one in my family has had the prostate cancer as for as I know?
I am in the A.O. Registry (Agent Orange)
I was reading about agent orange and I was exposed to it back in Nam but this has been 45 46 years ago...Could I file a prostate claim &claim it was from the AO? if they tell me I have it? beings I am already TDIU P/T?
I Know I won't get any more compensation $$ wise but maybe up my ratings.
I know I need to be diagnosed with it first... just asking while I'm in my right mind.
Any comments or opinions welcome
Thank you in Advance for your time.
God Bless

Hopefully this helps you, if you were diagnosed with an enlarge prostate that does NOT mean you have prostate cancer. I have had an enlarged prostrate since I was 24 due to an accident I am 42 now
