Glioblastoma and Agent Orange

[Berta]

I got an email link to this article this AM.....Bob Walsh has been a radio show guest here many times and many of you know who Claude Unger is, as well as Joe Moore

(Bergmann and Moore law firm)

The problem with the premise of the  article is that John McCain was never exposed to AO. But I mentioned that in a post here on Brain cancer.

We didnt spray North Vietnam with AO .It was not tactically efficient in the North.Napalm was.

But the Senator's terrible diagnosis has spurred a re newed interest ( I hope) in the fact that incountry Vietnam veterans seems to have a higher incident of this cancer then the 

non incountry population.

There are some Facebook pages on Vietnam vets and glioblastoma,such as:

and some AO gioblastoma cases have been won:

Perhaps this will become a new AO presumptive. at some point.....but even if not, with strong IMOs the veterans were service connected on a direct SC basis without relying on the presumptive list. Nothing is Impossible.

Just bumping this up because I gave our web site addy to commentors at a newspaper that did an article on the John Mc Cain diagnosis.

There is also many at Facebook who need AO info ,regarding glioblastoma , but I dont do Facebook so maybe they have google alerts for AO Glioblastoma and will see our link at the other newspaper web site.
