My father passed away just over a year ago from colon cancer with Metastasis. He served in the Air Force in Korea and Vietman working at the flight line fueling the air craft.

About 6 years ago, he had 2 cancers polyps remove and a section of the colon was removed. The cancer had not gone through the colon wall. No radiaion or chemo was recommend by the doctor. He had several colonoscopies after wards and no other cancer was found. The last colonoscopy was done in Januaray on 2011. He passed away March 2011. Our claim for AO exposure was denied. How do we get help for our veterans who were exposed? The military doctors said he was all good for his age 76, but then we find out from a civilian doctor he had cancer all over, including brain, liver, lesions of L5 verebra and sacrum.

You hear more and more about out vets with colon cancer that we exposed to AO. Why has it not been added to the list of cancers caused by agent orange? We need to fight for our fathers, husbands, brothers.
