Subject: Agent Orange and Prostate Cancer Help

My husband was recently diagnosed with Adenocarcinoma of the prostate, Gleason Score of 5+4=9, T3, inoperable and incurable. We can thank the VA hospital in Leavenworth for not doing annual PSA test or phycial examination of the prostate even though they were requested.

The VA wants us to jump through hoops to provide them with information they already have due to earlier disability claims. Now we start over "again". We need to provide statements from other servicemen who served in Vietnam with Conley to verify he was exposed to Agent Orange and in what areas he was exposed. We are on the AO register and have been for years but that doesn't seem to make any difference.

If you know anyone who served with my husband in Vietnam we would appreciate any information you can provide. Dates of Vietnam service were 1966-1971, Plain of Reeds. He served with the 11th Infantry - 3rd of 5th CAV - 9th DIV and 4th DIV in several different areas of Vietnam.

Thank you so much for any help you can provide.

God bless all of our soldiers and veterans who have protected and continue to protect the Consitution and the United States of America.

Warm regards, Carol
