Subject: HERBICIDE EXPOSURE, DON MUANG RTAFB, THAILAND DURING 1967-1968

Author: TOMMIE L. BYFORD

[ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ] Date Posted: 22:53:12 07/23/16 Sat I HAVE MULTIPLE MYELOMA CANCER WHICH IS CAUSED FROM CHEMICALS. THE ONLY CHEMICAL I COULD HAVE BEEN EXPOSED TO WOULD BE WHAT WAS APPLIED AT DON MUANG. THIS HAS BEEN VERY DEBILITATING, CAUSING ME MANY PROBLEMS. I GO TO THE CANCER CLINIC ACROSS THE STREET FROM MY APARTMENT. I HAVE BEEN FIGHTING THE VA FOR 3 YEARS NOW ON THIS EXPOSURE AND MEDICAL PROBLEMS. I SHOWED THEM PHOTOS OF WHERE I WORKED AND LIVED AT DON MUANG. MY WORK AREA AND LIVING AREA WERE WITHIN 500 FEET OF THE PERIMETER. THEY DENIED MY FIRST CLAIM AND I GOT A VSO (HASN'T DONE ANYTHING FOR ME) TO FILE AN NOD. I AM STILL WAITING 2 YEARS LATER. I HAVE PROVIDED THEM WITH MEDICAL EVIDENCE AND LETTER'S FROM MY CANCER DOCTOR SHOWING I HAVE THE CANCER AND WAS EXPOSED AT DON MUANG. THEY KEEP TELLING ME THAT I DO NOT HAVE CANCER BECAUSE IT WAS NOT IN MY MEDICAL RECORDS. I GOT OUT IN 1986. THE CANCER CAN SOMETIMES TAKE 20 OR MORE YEARS TO APPEAR. THEY ALSO SAID I WAS NOT BY THE PERIMETER WHICH I HAVE PROVEN I WAS. I AM NOW IN THE PRO WILL TAKE MY CASE OR NOT. I NEED FOR ANYONE WHO WAS STATIONED AT DON MUANG DURING THE VIETNAM WAR TO PLEASE CONTACT ME AT MY E-MAIL ADDRESS: tommiebyford@hotmail.com.
